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
Greek ideas about geometry, straight-edge and compass constructions, and the nature of mathematical proof dominated mathematical thought for about 2,000 years.
This book is a self-contained introduction to the fundamental and interesting topics of geometry. The topics covered include the definitions and properties of 2D and 3D shapes, the basic concepts and formulas of perimeter, area and volume, the Pick’s formula, the Cavalieri’s principles, the basic geometric transformations, the concepts of tessellations, the Euler’s polyhedral formula, and the methods of construction of regular polygons and regular polyhedra. Complemented by diagrams, pictures, examples and exercises, the materials covered are suitable for an introductory course on geometry and will appeal to school students, teachers, junior undergraduate students, mathematics instructors or lecturers alike.
