Exhibition
Exhibition “Forms and Formulas”, some large models and the 45 cubics

In this category “in public”, we summarize posts which present math sculptures which appeared in public events or in other publications such as articles or books.

Note that we are stil beginning to put our math models online into this catalogue. So, many objects which were presented in earlier events or publications are not yet shown here yet. We start to put online math objects from current and most recent events.

Smoothed Togliatti quintic

A Togliatti quintic surface is a so-called world record surface. Among all quintic surfaces, it has the maximum possible number of singularities, namely 31. Our model is a smoothed version of such a surface.

A smoothed Kummer surface

The photo shows a smoothed Kummer surface in steel (inflated with bronze). This post also features links to plastic versions of this shape. The Kummer surface is a classic from the 19th century; our model is a smoothed version of it.

The Clebsch diagonal surface with two planes

This version of Clebsch's famous diagonal surface model features colored lines and two additional planes. One intersects the surfaces in a line and a hyperbola, the another one in three lines.

The Cayley/Klein cubic with four singularities in the family room

Our modern version of Klein's historical cubic surface model with four singularities is the main figure in our photo from the series "math sculptures in context". It is the pure white version with its 9 straight lines.

The Clebsch diagonal surface in the family room

Our modern version of Clebsch's historical - nowadays quite famous - diagonal surface model is the main figure in our photo from the series "math sculptures in context". It is the pure white version with the 27 straight lines.
