[BlindMath] 3 Dimensional Graphs

[Robin Williams]

Hi,

I have a friend who has experimented in such matters, particularly making shapes encountered in topology. The main problem with 3D printing appears to be the expense, as one tends to need larger objects depending on the level of detail. It should be possible to produce something relatively cheaply for standard surfaces, though.
There are R packages available that can readily produce the files needed for 3D printing.

I agree this is worthy of further investigation. Attempting to understand contour plots was certainly one of the most difficult problems I encountered in my undergraduate and postgraduate work.

Bests,
Robin

Hi all,

I'd love to see some more done on creating such graphs using a 3d printer.

I haven't yet had a chance to exercise this interest to date, but creating 3d printer ready image files for statistical graphs is on my to-do list.

Hi All!

I’m an undergraduate mathematics student who is struggling with figuring out the best assistive tech to use for understanding 3 Dimensional graphs.  Do any of you recommend certain programs or devices for graphs in three dimensions?

Thanks!
Michael
