Garden of Constants is a sculptural garden that links Dreese Laboratories with other buildings in the College of Engineering at Ohio State University.  Ten monumental sculptures depicting numbers, realized in handmade tile and steel,  stand in the plaza.  Fifty individual formulas are cast in bronze and embedded in a black walkway.  These insets are the mathematical and formulaic constants used primarily in electrical engineering and computer science, the departments in the surrounding buildings.
