Seems to be curve-joining problem DaVinci-like tetrahedron in progress Models for Friday print: Claw universal joints: 2 Trefoil knot DaVinci dodecahedron Maybe: new Borromean rings Maybe: protein molecule Organize by end of day Display models Will invite Engineers over Friday 10-11 D-Forms ======= Gaussian curvature computed for standard tennis ball But contradictions between intrinsic & extrinsic defs of curv Even for a sphere! Also exploring polyhedral version of tennis ball Knight's Visor ============== Image of Knight's Visor? Pop-Up Books ============ Writing continues, added Gail's sources 3D rotations in Mma for cone rotation animation Rediscovered cache of pop-up books; ordered more. POV-ray: Friday @ 11:00AM; decide if you want to participate. Protein Folding =============== 3D sphere model of protein? Have some models, but not of proteins... Build stick model of same
