Stereographic MAA
Digital Print
2015
As with the MAA logo, this artwork features the icosahedron.
Each face of the icosahedron was patterned with nine lines containing the text MAA 100
.
The icosahedron was first projected onto the circumscribing sphere and then stereographically
projected onto the plane. The resulting transformation maps line segments into circular arcs.
