Mathematical Art
Computers allow Mathematics and Art to come together in
many new ways. Mathematicians can use images to visualize
their ideas and artists can use mathematics to inspire or
generate images. The Web lets us easily see the results
of some of these projects.
- World of Escher
- The Dutch artist M.C. Escher is well-known for his
works involving mathematical themes.
- Fractals
- The Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota produces
a number of beautiful images. These fractals and the next
two links (digital art and higher dimensional objects) are from
the Center.
- Digital Art
- Here are a number of pictures produced on the computer
using mathematical descriptions of the desired images. In the
case of the L-system images, the artist describes a formal set
of rules and then waits to see what the picture will look like!
- Higher Dimensional Objects
- Take a glimpse into the fascinating world of four-dimensional objects.
- Mathematical Visualization
- This list of images related to mathematical objects was
compiled by David Banks, Staff Scientist at ICASE.
