Title :  
Geometric toys from mathematics
 
Abstract :
Geometry is full of figures, and their realization as real objects is both educational and beautiful. Also, things that move or transform have potential as kinetic art. In this lecture, I will introduce toy-like objects that transform and move based on the torus, polyhedron, Lissajous curves, etc. Many of them have been created by the speaker for more than 20 years. I would also like to exhibit the objects introduced in the lecture and demonstrate how they move and transform.

【Notice】 Mr. Akira Nishihara, who will give a lecture at the May Colloquium (May 10, Wed.), will exhibit his geometric toys.<http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/a-nishi/index.html> Demonstrations will be held from 12:00 to 14:00, so feel free to join us with lunch in hand.

■Date:Thursday, 11 May 10:00~17:30 Geometric Toy Exhibit
                                           12:00~14:00 Demonstrations

■Place:Lecture room(W1-D-314)
