Verification
editSee e.g. this mini-bio from the Henri Poincaré Institute web site. See also Math Genealogy link in the article. It's all basic info, but the page doesn't claim all that much. Mhym 21:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Silly trivia
editIn a bizarre celebrity cross-over event, he had Masi Oka (of Heroes fame) as a student back when I took his class in 1992. I have no idea if this is appropriate to include. Davidjelinek 23:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Computer visualization work began in the 1980's
editAs an undergraduate student and advisee of Prof. Banchoff from 1985 through 1988, I can attest that by that time he was already implementing and publicly-displaying computer-generated animations of projections of four-dimensional objects into three-space (further projected, of course, onto two-dimensional displays); as well as mentoring students in development of computer graphics tools for geometrical pedagogy. (I do not know if he had yet published work on these activities in peer-reviewed journals; but I do know that he had at least one invited-exhibit of stills of such work in a fine-art gallery.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlyDLG (talk • contribs) 21:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
