Join Distinguished Visiting Professor Tim Chartier and author Daina Taimina for an engaging discussion of Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes.  With more than 200 full-color photographs, this non-traditional, tactile introduction to non-Euclidean geometries illustrates the beginnings of geometry and its connections with art, nature, and the sciences.  For the crafter or would-be crafter, there are detailed instructions for how to crochet various geometric models and how to use them in explorations.
