Mathematics and art are generally viewed as very different disciplines – one devoted to abstract thought, the other to feeling. But sometimes the parallels between the two are uncanny. From Islamic ...

From prehistoric pottery designs to the formal proofs of ancient Greece, mathematics has evolved as both an art and a science. Across cultures and centuries, humans have used patterns, geometry, and ...

When Alfred University Math Professor Amanda Lipnicki took up knitting as an undergraduate student, she didn’t immediately recognize how mathematics and geometry underlay the patterns of stitches ...

Magnificently sophisticated geometric patterns in medieval Islamic architecture indicate their designers achieved a mathematical advance 500 years earlier than Western scholars, scientists say. By the ...

Islamic geometric patterns and architecture represent a profound synthesis of mathematical precision and artistic expression inherent in centuries of cultural heritage. These patterns are not merely ...

A few minutes into a 2018 talk at the University of Michigan, Ian Tobasco picked up a large piece of paper and crumpled it into a seemingly disordered ball of chaos. He held it up for the audience to ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
