The Center for the Computation and Visualization of Geometric Structures at the University of Minnesota offers these interactive lessons in advanced geometry. Generate the famous Penrose tilings, explore the effects of negatively curved space in a pinball-style game, try moving through Teichmuller space. Determine what geometric configuration would use the fewest number of satellites while still covering a given region of the earth. Discover and visualize families of Riemann surfaces, create Escher-like patterns, try a simple game of Tetris. Ponder the geometry of how rainbows are formed, and learn about hyperbolic triangles. Other features of this page: classes and workshops, downloadable software, multimedia documents, video productions, a geometry reference archive, geometry formulas and facts.
