Our lab is dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of mathematics, in particular, geometric structures and dynamics in low dimensions. We provide motivated students with opportunities for mathematical exploration in a stimulating environment. Our outreach activities highlight the fascination and beauty of mathematics.
The Experimental Geometry Lab promotes research and education by developing software tools (primarily in Mathematica) that allow individuals to explore and illustrate concepts in hyperbolic geometry. These tools enable researchers, instructors, and students to quickly create interactive demonstrations and explorations. Every year, EGL team members develop new interactive projects on a variety of topics.
