Duncan Stuart, artist and mathematician

[Gerry in Quebec]

Here's a short text about Duncan Stuart, who is credited with developoing the method 3 triangle subdivision for class II geodesic domes. Stuart, who died in 2001, was an artist, mathematican and teacher, and an associate of Buckminster Fuller and T.C. Howard. There are two nice quotes from Stuart in the article, one about how deep learning depends on making errors.
