Explorations in Extraordinary Geometry: The most interesting geometric objects are often the most difficult to visualize, but they don't have to live only in the pages of textbooks. Throughout the week, we will explore topics ranging from topology to solid and differential geometry through a variety of hands-on projects. Using materials such as paper, fabric, and yarn you will bring to life spiky "stellated" polyhedra, surfaces from the 4th dimension, the opposite of a sphere, and much more! Along the way we will also discuss the mathematics behind these objects so you may gain an even deeper understanding than can come from holding them in your hands.
LUNCH: Students staying for full day or for both morning and afternoon sessions can bring or buy their lunch. All students will eat lunch on Campus in The Commons, a small food court.
