(Bob) Bosch (born August 13, 1963, in Buffalo NY) is an author, recreational mathematician and the James F. Clark Professor of Mathematics at Oberlin College.
[5] Bosch received a BA in mathematics at Oberlin College in 1985, an MS in operations research and statistics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1987 and a PhD in operations research with the thesis Partial Updating in Interior-Point Methods for Linear Programming under Kurt Martin Anstreicher at Yale University in 1991.
Over the years Bosch has created numerous portraits drawn with a single continuous line.
Examples include the "figurative tours" he created with computer scientist Tom Wexler[7] and renditions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa,[8] a Van Gogh self portrait, and Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring.
[9] Domino portraits such as his renderings of Martin Luther King[10] and Barack Obama[3] are an expansion of the mathematical genre of opt art in another direction.
