Henry Segerman is a professor of mathematics @OKState. His research interests include three-dimensional geometry and topology, and mathematical art and visualization. Henry visited our exhibition recently and posed for a portrait with his featured work! #mathematics #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on November 30, 2021.

Creating a Klein bottle is impossible in our universe—you need four spatial dimensions! In our 3-D universe, every Klein bottle must have a self-intersection, where tubing crosses through a wall. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics #Kleinbottle This tweet was posted on October 25, 2021.

Give a strip of paper a half-twist and tape the ends together— you get a Möbius loop, a one-sided shape with one edge. Make two Möbius loops and glue their edges together—you should get a Klein bottle. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics #Kleinbottle This tweet was posted on October 25, 2021.

Intrigued by topology—the study of geometric properties that do not change when you stretch a shape— Bay Area physicist Cliff Stoll began making Klein bottles. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics #Kleinbottle This tweet was posted on October 25, 2021.

The light, elegant aesthetic of these sculptures shows the power of mathematical ideas: with only a minimal amount of material, the unique character of a polyhedron comes to light. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

The Greek term combines ‘poly’ meaning many and ‘hedra’ for faces or sides; hence, polyhedra are three-dimensional shapes made of polygon faces joined at the edges and corners. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

Speyer created these three polyhedra—a dodecahedron, a hexahedron, and a rhombic triacontahedron, by bending the corners (vertices), bolting them to the edges of each polyhedron, and leaving the faces open. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

Artist Stacy Speyer (@cubesandthings) began making a series of geometric metal sculptures as an artist-in-residence at the @Exploratorium. #MathAtSFO This tweet was posted on October 04, 2021.

"Aurora Australis” by Carlo Séquin was generated on a 3D printer and cast in bronze by Steve Reinmuth in Eugene, OR. Named for the Southern Lights, sharp eyes will notice that the sculpture is also a Möbius band. #MathAtSFO #Mathematics This tweet was posted on September 10, 2021.
