Spelman College, Fall 2017

Math 487 (Senior Seminar)

Here we document projects created by students in Math 487 (Senior Seminar), fall 2017. Thanks to the Spelman Design & Innovation Laboratory, many of these gave rise to interesting 3D printed objects.

There are similar projects from Spring 2017 to view also.

	Chelsea Allen is a Senior Mathematics Major from Detroit, Michgan. Over the course of the semester in senior seminar she did research of Boy's, Roman, and Cross Cap surfaces. She was able to 3D print Boy's and Roman surfaces.
	Shamaera Campbell is a graduating senior mathematics major from Brooklyn, New York. For her senior seminar project she chose to explore Catalan Solids, which are the duals of the Archimedean Solids. She was able to 3D print 4 of the 13 Catalan Solids.
	Imani Carson is a Dual Degree mathematics major from Decatur, Georgia. She spent the semester researching The 17 Wallpaper Groups and was able to 3D print a pattern from the p6 group.
	Amanda Collins is a graduating senior Dual Degree Mathematics and Bioengineering major from Fayetteville, Georgia. For her senior seminar project, she chose to explore Geometric and Hinged Dissections. With the help of Spelman's Innovation Lab, she was able to print out a hinged version of Dudeney’s Dissection and a square-to-hexagon dissection.
	Kaila Cross is a junior Dual Degree Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering major from Maryland. For her senior seminar project she chose to explore hypercubes. With the help of the Spelman Design & Innovation Laboratory, she was able to 3D print two variations of the tesseract (4-dimensional cube).
