Topics course.: Mathematics sometimes function as artists, creating structures that are described as “beautiful,” “elegant” and “mysterious.” The structures are not physical; they are ideas. The art of mathematics is an art of ideas. This is a studio course. Students create structures in several mathematical genres while exploring the nature of mathematical beauty. At the end of the course, students exhibit their best pieces in an art show on campus.
