Mathematical Sculpture in Stone and Bronze

This is the keynote address for the Millennial Open Symposium on the Arts and Interdisciplinary Computing, sponsored by the University of Washington Animation Research Labs. Helaman Ferguson is both a mathematician and a sculptor: one of his algorithms was listed in the top ten algorithms of the century and his sculpture can be found in institutions of higher learning and research worldwide. In the golden age of mathematics that we live in Helaman celebrates theorems as among our civilizations crown jewels. With cutting edge technology he carves billion year old stone with computer virtual image projection to create warm and human forms embodying timeless mathematical ideas. Claire Ferguson will discuss her book: Helaman Ferguson: Mathematics in Stone and Bronze. From the Series:Mathematical Sculpture in Stone and Bronze
