Templates for Polygonal
Models of Hyperbolic Geometry
See Appendix B of our text.
Note: These
paper models will be fragile! I suggest getting a plastic bag to
put them in. This will make them easier to carry and will protect
them from the weather.
Hyperbolic
soccerball. Yousuf Bahrami, Joe Stull, Steve Livesay.
This is made of hexagons and heptagons. Each vertex
is where two hexagons and one heptagon meet.
Template
{7,3} model.
Cody LeMond, Zach Brock, Wayman Howard, Alan Tom.
This is made of heptagons. Each vertex is where
three heptagons meet.
Template
{3,7} model.
Chase Haltom, Nathan Schrader, Mike Gough.
This is made of triangles. Each vertex is where
seven triangles meet.
{3,6 1/2} model.
Tom Wade, Ryan Bowerman, Marquise Triplett.
This is made of triangles. Seven triangles meet at
some vertices; six triangles meet at other vertices.

{3,7} and {3,6 1/2} models.
