The Reuleaux Triangle
Have you ever wondered why manhole covers are round? Why not square? Squares seem like they would be easier to manufacture. Or what about hexagons or triangles? What is it about the circle that makes it the shape of choice for manhole covers? In this session, we will explore curves of constant width and their applications.
We validate campus parking and provide dinner, and participants earn CPE hours (TEA approved) for this workshop.
