Sculptures That Reveal Mathematics: Meet us on the Roof for the Next Teacher’s Buzz

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Sep 26, 2006 09:17am

For the next NMC Teacher’s Buzz session, join us at the NMC Campus Welcome area, the rooftop of the Spohrer Center on October 2, 9:00 AM SLT/PST. It is there we will meet with guest Seifert Surface, the creator of the art scuplutures there, each of which demonstrates a mathematical underpinning such as knot theory, the magic of the Serpinski triangle, and more.

Seifert Surface was a panelist for the NMC’s Artists on the Green event in August, 2006 and described his work in a podcast interview

Seifert will provide some background and explanation for his work– he will speak to us via streaming audio on the music channel– as well as describing the math concepts and potential lesson activities embedded in the notecards attached to the works.

Math Generated Art

So dust off your math skills and meet us at the NMC welcome area (NMC Campus 128,225,42) or via a SLURL (web shortcut to location). Or bring any other topic you wish to buzz about with fellow teachers.
