Oh I didn't realise Bucky-Fuller was a mathematician! I had previously only encountered the name in chemistry as he invented a geometric isomer of carbon (or something) called Buckminster-fullerine (Bucky balls).
I think this related to the geometric domes that they made for the 1967 World Fair, Fuller's 25 great circles. I'm impressed you know any of it, this kind of math is not my thing.
I was going to draw a Buckminster Fullerene for my B letter card but quickly got discouraged by all the straight lines trying to be spherical. My sketch is skewed. C60 too many hexagons and pentagons to connect and hard to draw it 3D.
Mathematic formula that is an interesting graphic, thought Andy would like it.

I can't believe I actually remembered that...
