Martin L. (Marty) Demaine (born 1942〔Author information in National Library of Australia (catalog entry for ''A lifetime of puzzles : a collection of puzzles in honor of Martin Gardner's 90th birthday'' ) (A K Peters, 2008, ISBN 978-1-56881-245-8), edited by Demaine et al.〕) is an artist and mathematician, the Angelika and Barton Weller artist in residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.〔.〕 Demaine attended Medford High School in Medford, Massachusetts.〔 After studying glassblowing in England, he began his artistic career by blowing art glass in New Brunswick in the early 1970s.〔("Fluency", past exhibitions ), Andrew and Laura McCain Art Gallery, Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada, retrieved 2009-08-22.〕 The Demaine Studio, located in Miramichi Bay and later at Opus Village in Mactaquac, was the first one-man glass studio in Canada,〔. Jon Sawyer was an apprentice of Demaine at Mactaquac beginning in 1977.〕 part of the international studio glass movement. Demaine's pieces from this period are represented in the permanent collections of half a dozen major museums〔(Curriculum vitae ) from Demaine's web site.〕 including the Canadian Museum of Civilization〔(Glass and glass-making in Canada - Inspirational glass ). Canadian Museum of Civilization. Retrieved 2009-08-22.〕 and the National Gallery of Canada. Since joining MIT, Demaine has begun blowing glass again, as an instructor at the MIT Glass Lab;〔(The MIT Glass Lab: Martin Demaine ).〕 his newer work features innovative glassblowing techniques intended as a puzzle to his fellow glassblowers.〔〔.〕 Martin Demaine is the father of MIT Computer Science professor and MacArthur Fellow Erik Demaine; in 1987 (when Erik was six) they together founded the Erik and Dad Puzzle Company which distributed puzzles throughout Canada.〔.〕 Erik was home-schooled by Martin, and although Martin never received any higher degree than his high school diploma, his home-schooling catapulted Erik to a B.S. at age 14 and a Ph.D. and MIT professorship at age 20,〔.〕〔.〕 making him the youngest professor ever hired by MIT. The two Demaines continue to work closely together and have many joint works of both mathematics and art,〔(Father and son share love of art, computer science ), MIT Tech Talk, October 8, 2003.〕 including three pieces of mathematical origami in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York;〔(Curved Origami Sculpture ), from the web site of Erik Demaine. Retrieved 2009-08-22.〕 their joint mathematical works focus primarily on the mathematics of folding and unfolding objects out of flat materials such as paper and on the computational complexity of games and puzzles.〔〔 Martin and Erik are also featured in the movie ''Between the Folds'', a documentary on modern origami. Demaine is a citizen of both Canada and the United States.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Demaine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
