He spent a lifetime patiently excavating the problems and possibilities of the painted surface — in terms of color, texture, ...

The course builds on my 2018 class, Art and Geometry, which I co-taught with local artists. The course explored Picasso’s cubism, which depicted reality as fractured from multiple perspectives; it ...

From Mozart and Dostoyevsky to Jackson Pollock — two books reveal the fundamental and sometimes surprising intertwining of mathematics and creativity ...

I love the popular maths books of George Gamow, and in later years, Ian Stewart, Simon Singh, Paul Hoffman, John Allen Paulos, and the wonderful Marcus du Sautoy, the Oxford professor for the Public ...

As a fractal grows, the pattern replicates itself on a larger scale. The mathematical foundation for our understanding of fractal geometry was laid by the German mathematician, Felix Hausdorff, during ...

Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.

While bridging art and mathematics, Gao and Newberry worked to keep their study as accessible as possible to folks from both realms and beyond. Its mathematical complexity maxes out with the famous-or ...

Tree branches in art throughout history follow geometric rules related to fractal geometry. ‘Almond blossom’ by Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
