MTH 301: Topics in Advanced Mathematics (Fall 2008)

Location: Burton 307

Time: Thursday, 1:00-2:50PM

The two research topics we'll pursue this semester are:

1. Locked linkages
2. Unfolding polyhedra

PowerPoint slides from the 4Sep08 presentation are available at the Moodle site for this class. See also my monograph on folding and unfolding.

We have decided to try to prove that prismatoids can be unfolded without overlap.
