The fourth Math Webinar in English took place on Wednesday, May 5th, 2021 from 5 pm until 6pm with Laura Taalman, Professor of Mathematics at James Madison University, also known as “mathgrrl,” as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
In this fourth Math Webinar in English, Laura Taalman presented on “Exploring Mathematics with 3D Printing.” The speaker explained how 3D printing and design allow us to understand and explore complex mathematical objects. Laura Taalman showed magnificent examples of 3D-printed polyhedra, tessellations, fractals, knots and other geometric figures. The speaker also highlighted the importance of learning by failing and of sharing these experiences both in 3D design and in mathematical exploration.
