Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a non-Euclidean world? Come to my MAT 381 talk next Wednesday, March 5 to learn what it would be like to live on the surface of an infinite Pringle, or more mathematically, the hyperbolic plane. We will explore the Poincaré Disk, which is a 2 dimensional model of the hyperbolic plane, and prove why triangles have less than 180 degrees. And to think, we still haven’t even gotten to the best part! Finally, we will get to see all of this come to life on Dr. Kinsey’s hyperbolic quilt that she is so graciously letting me borrow for my talk. I hope to see you all at my seminar talk next Wednesday!
Thank you for making me rethink the geometry of my snacks. I look forward to seeing how the shapes of a surface can be made, within a finite space, into an infinite surface area.
Your teaser was really engaging! I am looking forward to learning more about the hyperbolic plane, and I am curious to learn why triangles have less than 180 degrees. I have never looked into the proof of this common property, so it will be interesting to see the reasoning behind something so fundamental!
I am very interested in your talk Tarin! I love Pringles and Dr.Kinseys magical blanket. I can’t wait for you to further my knowledge and blow my mind even more about this topic. If you need a little helper (drawing triangles on the magical blanket), I’ll be in my normal seat.
Triangles probably rank within the top 3 basic shapes. I would’ve never thought they didn’t have 180 degrees. Looking forward to the talk.
I remember how our minds were all blown when Dr. Kinsey introduced hyperbolic geometry to us. I am excited to learn more and to see the proof in real life with the use of the hyperbolic quilt!
I am looking forward to listening to your talk Tarin. I am most excited about how life would be on a hyperbolic plane, and I am also very excited to see what you bring in!
Tarin! Talk about an intriguing title. I can not wait to hear you talk as you awe me again about hyperbolic geometry the same way we both were in Geometry last semester! This is such an interesting topic that I never knew about before last semester, but a topic worth sharing, so happy you chose this topic.
