Mathematica Shapes As Seen on TV

For animated graphics to accompany their upcoming series "Mathematics: The Invisible Universe", PBS called on Tom Casey, a computer animation specialist at Home Run Pictures. Turning mathematics into graphics, Casey found, was an ideal job for Mathematica.

"So far our assignments have involved showing how equations define various shapes and creating models to demonstrate a theory of knots," explains Casey. The series, scheduled to air next fall, will feature interviews with prominent mathematicians. As it is still in production, we don't yet know how many more Mathematica-generated graphics will be included. Stay tuned for more later!

Key features of Mathematica used:

• Graphic--3D plotting
