Welcome to the Spring 2023 edition of GeometryLab @ UVA.
We will use crochet to explore and better understand spheric and hyperbolic geometry. We will create different shapes in the hopes of vizualizing different properties in different versions of the hyperbolic place. Also, we will have some joint activities with the Mason Experimental Geometry Lab MEGL.

Many 3d rendering engines for games and animation are focused on our usual Euclidean reality. Can one use the tools available to help visualize non Euclidean geometries. We are out to understand how visualization and rendering works and how we can adapt it to more exciting and exotic settings.
