I am a freelance mathematical sculptor/designer, recently retired
from being a research professor in the engineering school at Stony
Brook University. Over 100 of my sculptures are on public
display somewhere around the world, many at major
universities. I'm always looking for interesting sculpture,
lecture, and workshop opportunities. Invite me! I spent four
years as a co-founder of the Museum
of Mathematics in NY City, conceiving and designing its
major exhibits. Yes, I am related to (my daughter) Vi Hart. An
enormous amount of my work is freely available on my web
pages. There are no ads. If you would like to support my
mission of showing the world that math is cool, please feel free
to make a donation:
