Special Public Lecture: Segerman -- Artistic Mathematics: Truth and Beauty

Join us for SMRI's International Day of Mathematics/ Pi Day public lecture on Friday
14th March 

Speaker: Henry Segerman, Oklahoma State University

Abstract: Dr Segerman will talk about his work in mathematical visualization: making
accurate, effective, and beautiful pictures, models, and experiences of mathematical
concepts.  He will discuss what it is that makes a visualization compelling, and show
many examples in the medium of 3D printing, as well as some work in virtual reality and
spherical video.  Dr Segerman will also discuss his experiences in teaching a
project-based class on 3D printing for mathematics students.  

About Dr Henry Segerman, Oklahoma State University: Henry Segerman’s research
interests are in three-dimensional geometry and topology, and in mathematical art and
visualization.  In visualization he works in 3D printing, spherical video, virtual, and
augmented reality.  He is the author of the book 'Visualizing Mathematics with 3D
Printing'. 

Event Format: This public lecture is hosted by the Sydney Mathematical Research
Institute (SMRI) as part of our program for International Day of Mathematics 2025.  The
talk will be tailored to a general audience and suitable for individuals from Year 10
onward.  

Lecture: 5:30 to 6:30pm / Canapes & Drinks: 6:30 to 7:30pm AEST
