Amber Case - An Introduction to Hyperbolic Geometry
Loading...
Uploaded by igniteinportland on Mar 4, 2010
Traditional geometry is something we all learned in school. Some of us like it, and the rest of us don't. In traditional geometry, parallel lines stay parallel, and triangles are always 180 degrees. Theses are the rules, and they cannot be broken.
Enter Hyperbolic Geometry. It's not new, but it is an AWESOME field of mathematics. Basically, it breaks all the rules.
In this presentation, I'll demonstrate some of the history and implications of this field, a field that has inspired Escher and sent Euclid rolling in his grave. I'll also explain the mysterious 5th Postulate and how all of this applies to the web.
Sound complicated? Don't panic! I'll use a lot of pictures and analogies. And with all of the beer you'll all be consuming, the ideas should enter your brain smoothly and enjoyable. This won't hurt a bit.

I'm in a hyper-bolic chamber right now, but it's less like a prison, and more like a party ! WOOOOO.

Holy cow! I wish I could transplant her into every one of my college classes...then I would have had so much fun! She is the most adorable, hilarious geek I've ever seen. I love it!

@Screamer1989 P.S. the speech I've mentioned is called "Prosthetic Culture"

I understand, that I still love maths and especially geometry. I understood almost nothing, but it inspired me to check it out.
BTW, check out Amber's talk on Cyborg Anthropology. but not the Ignite one. the Chris Pirillo one :)
Thanks, Amber!

I knitted pants just like that two years ago! I still have them in my closet!
Great talk Amber!

Breakthroughs in the world of knitting: Now I know why my great grandma was so intent while she was knitting. She was exploring curved space and time this explains a lot. Great speech, awesome delivery!
