Illinois Geometry Lab
The Illinois Geometry Lab (IGL) is a facility at the Mathematics Department focusing on mathematical visualization and community engagement.
At the lab, undergraduate students work closely with graduate students and postdocs on visualization projects set forth by faculty members, as well as to bring mathematics to the community through school visits and other activities.
The IGL follows in the footsteps of the Geometry Center which pioneered computer visualization in the 90's. We are associated with the Experimental Geometry Lab at the University of Maryland College Park, and with the Experimental Algebra and Geometry Lab at the University of Texas Pan American.
The IGL was featured in a Spring 2013 Postmarks article "X students + 1 subject + 1 room = creative and fun teamwork".
The IGL, EGL, and EAGL were featured in the Scientific American article "Deep Spaces: Geometry Labs Bring Beautiful Math to the Masses" in July 2012.
