While simple approximations to the bbox are trivial (such as computing the bounding box of their control points), in this article we deduce the exact bounding box analytically.
John D. Cook, Greg Egan, Dan Piponi and I had a fun mathematical adventure on Twitter. It started when John Cook wrote a program to compute the probability distribution of distances $latex |xy - yx|$ where $latex x$ and $latex y$ were two randomly chosen unit quaternions: • John D. Cook, How far is xy…

A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range
I made another thing! This is a torus, made from 24 crescent-shaped pieces of paper with slots cut into them so they interlock with each other. I followed these instructions on cutoutfoldup.com. There is also a template with some ideas for nice variations here. The idea of this model is to highlight Villarceau circles. Everyone…
This book explains the algorithms behind those collisions using basic shapes like circles, rectangles, and lines so you can implement them into your own projects.

It is a live weekly hour-long webseries showcasing geometry processing research. Topics range from computer science, mathematics, and engineering including 3D deep learning, computational fabrication, and computer graphics. The unique format of the Toronto Geometry Colloquium pairs a 10-min opener speaking about a recent work with a 50-min headliner giving a keynote-style address
