Wouldn't it be great to experience three-dimensional ideas in three dimensions? In this book-the first of its kind-mathematician and mathematical artist Henry Segerman takes readers on a fascinating tour of two-, three-, and four-dimensional mathematics, exploring Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry, knots, tilings, and soap films. Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing includes more than 100 color photographs of 3D printed models. Readers can take the book's insights to a new level by visiting its sister website, 3dprintmath.com, which features virtual three-dimensional versions of the models for readers to explore. These models can also be ordered online or downloaded to print on a 3D printer. Combining the strengths of book and website, this volume pulls higher geometry and topology out of the realm of the abstract and puts it into the hands of anyone fascinated by mathematical relationships of shape. With the book in one hand and a 3D printed model in the other, readers can find deeper meaning while holding a hyperbolic honeycomb, touching the twists of a torus knot, or caressing the curves of a Klein quartic.

Journal of Mathematics and the Arts
No previous mathematical maturity is required. The work is a good addition to any academic library. Highly recommended
Choice
I have great difficulty thinking about Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing as just a book. The careful choice, quality and effectiveness of the 140+ images in the book is outstanding. What Segerman has developed is much bigger than a book he has developed a whole platform to complement the book and explore mathematical concepts. Visualizing Mathematics with 3D printing allows the reader to manipulate with a computer or 3D print the objects discussed, making it possible to physically interact with the concepts.
Mathematical Association of America
... this book serves as a launching point for teachers who are interested in exploring more advanced geometries or topology themselves. It could also guide conversations between STEM and arts educators trying to build an integrated learning experience.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
The focus is on a number of areas that absolutely lend themselves to 3D models, and in these areas the author has excelled... wonderful illustrations that inspire much deeper thinking and investigation taking the reader on a fascinating journey.
