Abstract

In this paper, we define the term Mathematical Sculpture, a task somehow complex. Also, we present a classification of mathematical sculptures as exhaustive and complete as possible. Our idea consists in establishing general groups for different branches of Mathematics, subdividing these groups according to the main mathematical concepts used in the sculpture design.
