Seifert Surface's Mathematical Sculptures

Seifert Surface (Henry Segerman in RL) generates mathematical sculptures illustrating mathematical concepts such as knots, ruled surfaces, fractals, and Serpinksi Triangles. Each sculpture comes with an explanatory notecard, which details the mathematical concepts and inspiration behind each work.

The sculptures can be viewed on the roof of the NMC Campus Welcome Center
