I am a freelance mathematical sculptor/designer, recently retired from a research professor position in the engineering school at Stony Brook University. I'm always looking for interesting sculpture, lecture, and workshop opportunities. Invite me! I spent four years helping to create and design the Museum of Mathematics in NY. 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:

This is a top-level table of contents into my hundreds of web pages
