MATH 139

This course investigates relationships between mathematics and visual art and design. With a focus on problem solving, students will learn the numerical and geometric aspects of the Golden Ratio, one, two and three point linear perspective, tilings, fractals and Frieze patterns. As time permits, a number of other topics may be covered such as the mathematics of M.C. Escher, Latin square puzzles, or Flatland.
