I am a research professor in the engineering school at Stony Brook University and a freelance mathematical sculptor/designer. I'm always looking for interesting sculpture, lecture, and workshop opportunities. Invite me! I spent much of the past 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:

Geometric sculpture (I am a sculptor. Take a look and enjoy my work.)

Color postcards available

My YouTube Videos (showing math is cool)
Mathematical Impressions -- Video essays I'm making for the Simons Foundation web site. (activities)

Rapid Prototyping Models (collects RP models from several projects of mine.)
Puzzles (I also design geometric assembly puzzles)
Growth Forms (Big videos)
