I am interested in visual representation of mathematical concepts,
especially those implying some (a lot of) algorithmic and programming
efforts. I have no 3D intuition, hence to understand geometric
concepts, I need to get a representation of them, either using
rendering (PovRay), or by building models, mainly
with paper : my copy of Wenninger's Polyhedron models is full of
needle holes and notes...
George Hart is a great source of inspiration, and trying to redo his
works is a great motivation.
Virtual slide-together objects, using napolitan playing cards. Each card is following an edge of the polyhedron. Each slide-together corresponds to one of the 13 Catalan solids. Using the information gathered during the process, one could be able to determine the place and lenght of the cuts leading to real world models...
A compound of five hamiltonian circuits on a rhombicosidodecahedron.

Each card is following an edge of the
polyhedron. Each slide-together corresponds to one of the 13
archimedean solids.
Using the information gathered during the process, one could be
able to determine the place and lenght
of the cuts leading to real world models...
