The New Math of Wrinkling Patterns A comprehensive mathematical framework treats these crinkles as elegant solutions to geometric problems.
Is there a geometry lesson hidden in ‘The Last Supper’? Wikimedia Commons Mathematics and art are generally viewed as very different disciplines – one devoted to abstract thought, the other ...
These are examples of geometric tilings, arrangements of shapes that fit snugly together while filling up space. Two-dimensional tilings are admired all around the world, both for their beauty — as ...
Understanding the often-overlooked links between math and literature can enhance your appreciation of both.
Yale’s Sam Raskin has solved a major portion of a math question that could lead to a translation theory for some areas of math.
If you've ever uncrumpled a crumpled piece of paper, you may have noticed the creases form in geometric patterns. But you probably didn't! It's a crumpled piece of paper! Well, next time, look ...
For example, a growth pattern that would tend to make a tissue curve — meaning that the curved intrinsic geometry would minimize its energy — might be ‘frustrated’ if a leaf is too thick ...
A study of medieval Islamic art has shown some of its geometric patterns use principles established centuries later by modern mathematicians. Researchers in the US have found 15th Century examples ...
