Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course aims to bridge the gap between the arts/humanities and mathematics. By providing a historical overview of key moments of interaction between arts and mathematics, it will introduce students to the basic mathematical concepts and techniques that artists have used, including: symmetry, conics and polyhedra, perspective, and projective geometry. Students will propose an artistic project that is closely integrated with mathematics. The main focus of the course will be on the hands-on application of mathematical ideas in the creation of artistic projects. This project-based approach will provide students with basic mathematical literacy. It will also encourage them to discover for themselves the relationship between arts and mathematics. | ||||||||||
