Hyperbolic Planes Take Off!
Loading...
Uploaded by Vihart on Jan 10, 2011
I gave this talk at the 2011 Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans. It was meant for an audience of mathematicians, but the big words aren't as important as the pretty pictures, so I hope everyone can enjoy!
More information about everything I talked about can be found on http://vihart.com

...Wow...
You're amazing.

she needs to make a video of fiddling w/ balloons

I read the comment as "She's actually pretty wow" not "She's actually pretty, wow." They are both somewhat weird and awkward to say but one is somewhat demeaning and the other is kind of funny. I like the funny.

Too many comments to read through here in case it has been asked before, but is there a video with the Q&A session at the end?

Lol your scarf looks like you just tore it off a windows curtain.

New Orleans? Where do you live then? Louisiana FTW

Before I began listening, I knew nothing about hyperbolic planes, and even though this was a lecture designed for math folk entirely familiar with them, you still ended up explaining to me what they are. Well done! And don't worry, I'll check out what I thought I just learned; no blind asumptions!

@khajiit92 i mean, i start with 4, 5, 6, 7 etc. magnets in a square/pentagon/ etc, and add a layer of magnets to make it bigger and bigger, and the the hexagons were flat, pentagons and smaller were cone-ish and 7 and up were kind of like the dried fruit pics on your vid. just wondering if that makes them hyperbolic planes (or if there are other conditions or whatever). i think tiling was the wrong word.
