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.
