Eve Torrence

Eve Torrence is professor emeritus of mathematics at Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, where she was an award-winning teacher from 1994 to 2021.

Eve has participated in juried Exhibitions of Mathematical Art at the Joint Mathematics Meetings and the Bridges Conference since 2010. In 2015, her piece, Day, received the Best of Show People's Choice Award at the Bridges exhibition. Day is currently part of an exhibit of pieces from past Bridges shows on display at the Science Museum of Virginia.

Eve enjoys creating sculptures that allow her to share the beauty of geometry and topology with a general audience. She usually works with inexpensive materials, such as yarn, paper, fabric, and craft foam. These materials adapt well to hands-on workshops, allowing her to share her discoveries and designs. She hopes to communicate that mathematics is accessible and interesting to people who may have never had the opportunity to be inspired by mathematics. 

Eve is a member of the Bridges Organization Board and has served as an editor for seven Bridges Conference Proceedings. She is currently working on a book on topological crochet with Shiying Dong.
