Folding Mathematics, Craft, and Art: Seeing What is Between the Folds [AW360W] |
Mrs. Daina Taimina
7:00 to 9:00 PM
21 January 2011
The discovery of hyperbolic geometry in the 1820's changed the way people thought about mathematics, philosophy, and the arts. First considered in purely theoretical terms, hyperbolic geometry gained recognition in 1868 when Eugenio Beltrami made the first model of part of the hyperbolic plane - called a pseudosphere. Since then, mathematicians were puzzled by the question, "Does a complete model of the hyperbolic plane exist?" In the late 1970's some paper models appeared, giving a glimpse of how a hyperbolic plane might look. But in 1997, a Cornel University math professor, Daina Taimina, created the first crocheted hyperbolic plane.Come learn about Mrs. Taiminas journey in math and crocheting. Join us for a talk with interactive paper and fiber demonstrations, followed by a book signing. Tuition: $10 (members), $15 (non-members)
