This year’s Joint Meetings exhibition is dedicated to Magnus Wenninger, a self-described priest, monk, mathematician, philosopher, and polyhedronist. Magnus was born in 1919 and earned a bachelors degree in Philosophy in 1942 from Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He entered Saint John’s Abbey and professed monastic vows in 1940, attended Saint John’s Seminary, and was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1945. He earned a masters degree in Philosophy in 1946 from the University of Ottawa, Canada. He taught mathematics and served as Math Department Head at St. Augustine’s College in Nassau, The Bahamas, and he earned a masters degree in Mathematics Education in 1961 at Columbia University Teachers College. Magnus began publishing articles about polyhedra in the early 1960’s, and his first book, Polyhedron Models for the Classroom, was published in 1966. Subsequent books include Polyhedron Models (1971), Spherical Models (1979), and Dual Models (1983). His books, articles, and models have been a source of inspiration to at least one generation of polyhedra lovers and model builders. Magnus is presently retired and resides at Saint John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. His models depicting 3-dimensional projections of 4-dimensional polytopes are featured in this year’s exhibition.
