Visual Insights (Part 2)

For several years I ran a blog called Visual Insight, which was a place to share striking images that help explain topics in mathematics.  Last week I gave this talk about it at the Illustrating Math Seminar:

It was fun showing people the great images created by Refurio Anachro, Greg Egan, Roice Nelson, Gerard Westendorp and other folks. For more info on the images I talked about, go here:

• 2015 – 01 – 15 — Hammersley Sofa • 2015 – 12 – 01 — Golay Code • 2014 – 07 – 15 — {7,3} Tiling • 2014 – 03 – 15 — {6,3,3} Honeycomb • 2013 – 09 – 15 — {6,3,3} Honeycomb in Upper Half Space • 2015 – 12 – 15 — Kaleidocycle • 2016 – 02 – 15 — 27 Lines on a Cubic Surface • 2015 – 04 – 15 — Sphere in Mirrored Spheroid • 2015 – 10 – 01 — Balaban 10-Cage • 2015 – 09 – 15 — McGee Graph
