A full-color printed card showing and explaining Serpentine Symmetries, a beaded jewelry set that illustrates the 13 wallpaper groups compatible with bead crochet rope. Serpentine Symmetries was part of the 2018 Joint Mathematics Meetings Exhibition…

This paper presents 15 vignettes, each designed to evoke both mathematics and magic. We end with a super-generalization of the Chefalo Rope Trick and the insight that 15 = 3 x 5 = 1x1 + 1 x 1 + 2 x 2 + 3 x 3.

A cube is used as a fair die of 6 faces. However, there are many dice of different shapes on the market. To make them fair, most of them usually have some symmetric shapes. I classify these variants of dice on the market into two groups. First, let's…

One of my interests is abstract photography, using ordinary photographs as the “paint” and using spatial and mathematical transformations to create an image from one or more sources. One transformation that I’ve been exploring is “Inside Out”, which…

My gift is an Ace of Spades personalized with a unique image that combines the G4G logo together with a symbolic representation of Panamanian culture.

For it's decade of existence the Circo Matemático (mathematical circus), a autonome group of popularisers of mathematics part of the Ludus Association, designed a deck of cards.

The poker-sized cards (63x88 mm) are COPAG 310 quality, slimline, with…

Easy and inexpensive geometric frames (of truncated cubes or dodecahedra, for example) can be constructed from coffee stirrers and twist ties. These can be used to hang from the ceiling or to dip in soapy water. When one such frame, tetrahedral in…
