Möbius Transformations Revealed
Möbius Transformations Revealed is an award-winning short film by Doug Arnold and myself which has been viewed over 2 million times on YouTube alone. We originally created it for the 2007 Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by the NSF and Science Magazine. It has been featured in a number of articles and websites, including:
- 2007 Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge Winners (NSF)

A short clip of the movie is included in the film Achieving the Unachievable, a documentary about M.C. Escher’s Print Gallery.
Möbius Transformations Revealed is a wonderful video clarifying a deep topic. This is amazing work by Douglas Arnold and Jonathan Rogness of the University of Minnesota. Edward Tufte
