Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations
Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Award-winning Nashville-based science writer Stephen Ornes will join Chatt About Science to discuss the beauty of mathematics and his new book called Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations. Star Line Books will host this event.
The worlds of visual art and mathematics come together in this spectacular volume. Ornes explores the growing sensation of math art, presenting more than 80 pieces, including a crocheted, colorful representation of non-Euclidian geometry that looks like sea coral and a 65-ton, 28-foot-tall bronze sculpture covered in a space-filling curve. For each work, we get the artist’s story followed by accessible and thought-provoking explanations of the mathematical concept and equations behind the art. From 3D-printed objects that give real form to abstract mathematical theories, to mystic fractals, to the Mona Lisa as a solution to the Traveling Salesman Problem, these artworks embody some of strangest, most beautiful relationships among numbers and across dimensions.
