Before retiring, he was an associate professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in New York City and then an interdepartmental research professor at Stony Brook University . His work includes both academic and artistic approaches to mathematics. He is the father of mathematics popularizer and YouTuber Vi Hart . Education and career Hart received a B.S. in Mathematics from MIT (1977), an M.A. in Linguistics from Indiana University (1979), and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT (1987). His academic work includes the online publication Encyclopedia of Polyhedra , the textbook Multidimensional Analysis , and the instruction book Zome Geometry . He has also published over sixty academic articles. His artistic work includes sculpture, computer images, toys (e.g. Zome ) and puzzles. 2 He worked with John H. Conway to promote and standardize the Conway polyhedron notation . Sculptures Hart's public sculptures can be seen at locations around the world, including MIT , U.C. Berkeley , Stony Brook University , Princeton University , Duke University , The University of Arizona , Queen's University at Kingston , Macalester College , Pratt Institute , Albion College , Middlesex University , Aalto University , and The Polytechnic University of Valencia . 3 4 5 Inventions Hart is a coinventor on two US patents , U.S. patent 4,672,555 Digital ac monitor and U.S. patent 4,858,141 Non-intrusive appliance monitor apparatus . These patents cover, in part, an improved electrical meter for homes called nonintrusive load monitors . These meters track changes in voltage and current usage by a given household and then deduce which appliances are using how much electricity and when. citation needed Museum of Mathematics Hart is a co-founder of North America's only Museum of Mathematics, MoMath , in New York City. 6 As chief of content, he set the "Math is Cool!" tone of the museum and spent five years designing original exhibits and workshop activities for it. 7 Bibliography Multidimensional Analysis: Algebras and Systems for Science and Engineering , 1995, ISBN 978-0-387-94417-3 Zome Geometry - Hands-on Learning with Zome Models , 2001, ISBN 978-1-55953-385-0 Gallery 3D print of a Sierpinski tetrahedron , made of nylon (polyamide) by G.W.
