The first book to explain mathematics using 3D printed models.

Winner of the Technical Text of the Washington Publishers

Wouldn't it be great to experience three-dimensional ideas in three dimensions? In this book--the first of its kind--mathematician and mathematical artist Henry Segerman takes readers on a fascinating tour of two-, three-, and four-dimensional mathematics, exploring Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry, knots, tilings, and soap films. Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing includes more than 100 color photographs of 3D printed models. Readers can take the book's insights to a new level by visiting its sister website, 3dprintmath.com, which features virtual three-dimensional versions of the models for readers to explore. These models can also be ordered online or downloaded to print on a 3D printer.

Combining the strengths of book and website, this volume pulls higher geometry and topology out of the realm of the abstract and puts it into the hands of anyone fascinated by mathematical relationships of shape. With the book in one hand and a 3D printed model in the other, readers can find deeper meaning while holding a hyperbolic honeycomb, touching the twists of a torus knot, or caressing the curves of a Klein quartic.

Industry Reviews

""[Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing] conveys a level of intuition that's difficult to find elsewhere, and it would be an extremely valuable additional resource for any student wanting to develop their geometric and topological understanding and intuition. The innovative way in which material is introduced could also be useful for teachers and lecturers when designing lessons... the elegance and beauty of the presentation makes it wholly accessible for accomplished mathematicians, aspiring mathematicians, and non-mathematicians alike.""
