software can create the knots, giving Heath and his students the ability to see the knot in three dimensions and better understand the problem, Ebbinga explained. But that’s only the tip of the virtual iceberg. Ebbinga imagines the software being used for stage design, in the science department for digital imaging, by facilities to design landscapes or layout sprinkler systems, and by individual student for special projects. “What is really interesting about this program, is it’s not just big
