Abstract

An essay is presented which discusses sphere eversion (a sphere inside out) in topology during the 1970s in the U.S., including the mathematicians Charles Pugh and Nelson Max's efforts to invert spheres as geometric and topological models. The use of computer graphics to created sphere eversion, including computer animation, is discussed.
