Math in Art and Nature*

56-1725

This course shows the relationship between mathematics and art in nature, for example, the shape of a butterfly and the spiral on a pineapple. Using a compass and a straightedge, students learn geometric concepts in order to do basic Euclidean constructions; as well as, golden rectangle, baravelle spiral, and the lute of Pythagoras constructions.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
