Geometry for the Artist
is based on a course of the same name which started in the 1980s at Maharishi International University. It
is aimed both at artists willing to dive deeper into geometry and at mathematicians open to learning about applications of mathematics in art. The book includes topics such as perspective, symmetry, topology, fractals, curves, surfaces, and more. A key part of the book’s approach is the analysis of art from a geometric point of view—looking at examples of how artists use each new topic. In addition, exercises encourage students to experiment in their own work with the new ideas presented in each chapter.
This book is an exceptional resource for students in a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course, and since many assignments involve writing about art, this text is ideal for a writing-intensive course. Moreover, this book will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in connections between mathematics and art.
Features
Abundant examples of artwork displayed in full color
Suitable as a textbook for a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course
Designed to be enjoyed by both artists and mathematicians
