some of the hyperbolic plane illustrations from the Symmetries of Things
These illustrations are from the first edition of The Symmetries of Things, written with John Conway and Heidi Burgiel. Back in the day, kids, I didn’t have a way to actually draw in the computer
Miscellaneous teaching materials
Here are a variety of teaching materials. (Check out the Polyhedra Party repository for the polyhedra stuff especially.)
Some polyhedra to print out and make
These are designed to be printed out or photocopied onto cardstock, cheaply and easily for a classroom activity or multipart curriculum. I’ve put my full polyhedron archive on Dropbox. Here are a few samples of
Some mathfun
Ptolemy Mathcards, among the finest of the world’s largest fictional mathematical trading card companies: The Math Factor CD. Check out the Mathfactor website! Infinity Number One, complete with stickers to stick and polyhedra to make!
Some stellation fractals
These fractals are all generated by recursive rules, most of them derived from stellations, of polyhedra and polygons.
photoshop process graphics
Most of these images were formed by applying some sequence of Photoshop filters repeatedly, letting emergent patterns appear.
