John Conway of Princeton invented a class of models built of hexagonal prisms. Participants will learn to build these three-dimensional geometric models from pencils, explore symmetries of these models, and understand the relationship between this model and the cubic lattice. Models may be viewed at the Web at www.rider.edu/172_5403.htm.
