Reviews and Press

  • Mathematics Teacher (NCTM) - "Reading Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing provides the reader with a unique opportunity to visualize mathematics—from the simplicity of symmetry to the seemingly unimaginable fourth dimension."
  • MathSciNet - " Visualizing mathematics with 3D printing will be sought by those interested in the intersection of 3D printing and college- and graduate-level mathematics. The exposition in the book is clear, and the chapters are organized thoughtfully. "
  • MAA Reviews - " In my opinion every student of geometry or topology should be required to interact with this book and its online resources."
  • Wired - "The book’s chapters explain geometric concepts like symmetry and curvature using intricate 3-D shapes ..."
  • Chalkdust Magazine - "Henry Segerman ... has achieved the seemingly impossible and written something refreshingly original and different."
  • Journal of Mathematics and the Arts - "Segerman has succeeded in making a wide variety of mathematical ideas ... accessible to a general audience in a genuinely new and effective way."
  • American Mathematical Monthly - " Part of climing [the "Slope of Enlightenment"] is being able to see what is possible at the summit, and that is where Henry Segerman's book comes in. "
