3D Printing: A Growing Force
3D Printing: A Growing Force
Career Profiles, Mathematical Association of America, April 2019.
Laura Taalman is a professor of mathematics at James Madison University, who works with 3D printing, singular algebraic geometry, knot theory, and games. She has worked for a variety of 3D printing companies including MakerBot, Shapeways, and Ultimaker. She is the founder of JMU 3SPACE, the first general-education 3D-printing classroom in the country.

Student Essay Contest, College Honorable Mention, Ellen Li, Association for Women in Mathematics, 2015.
In math, finding an answer isn’t as important as the journey to the solution. As in Disney movies, the most important lessons in math are learned by overcoming obstacles in the way of the metaphorical princess.

Science Friday On-Air: The ABCs of 3D Printing
Science Friday, July 2014.
What can't 3D printers do? We've all heard news stories about 3D-printed food and medical prostheses—even cars and entire houses. But how does additive manufacturing, as it's also known, really work? And how can an at-home hobbyist get started? Ira teams up with Makerbot's Bre Pettis and mathematician Laura Taalman to present the ultimate beginner's guide to 3D printing.

MyMiniFactory designer interview, May 2014.
Laura Taalman, otherwise known as mathgrrl, has been prolifically uploading 3D models to the My Mini Factory platform since 2013. She now has nearly 200 models online, all available to download for free. We wanted to honour her this October with a Feature on her Jewelery designs and to find out what inspirers her day to day.

Sol Lederman, Inspired by Math podcast, 2013.
Jason Rosenhouse and Laura Taalman have written a fun book: Taking Sudoku Seriously. I interview the authors about how Sudoku is a great springboard for mathematical exploration, what Sudoku has to do with mathematical thinking, a practical application of Sudoku, ties to various branches of math, and more.
