an interesting article on hyperbolic geometry


Ok. This one has a nice visual – the crocheted model of pseudosphere (the hyperbolic equiabvalent of a cone) – but I'm really posting this for you Linda because the article is pretty interesting.

This one is on another interesting online magazine called Cabinet Magazine.
