The Mathematics of Art

The Art of Mathematics ·

2020/12/02

A surprising amount of art is inspired by mathematics. The book Fragments of Infinity describes many works of art and the mathematics behind them. Meet mathematicians who have become artists and artists who have become mathematicians, and some who have always straddled both worlds. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-art-of-mathematics/message

The Real World Is a Special Case

The Art of Mathematics ·

2020/11/18

Abstract math is at once about nothing and about everything. The structures it builds may represent numbers, real world objects, music, or things we can barely imagine.

How to Find Something You’ve Never Seen

The Art of Mathematics ·

2020/11/04

Another seemingly easy problem that’s hard to solve. In fact, it's unsolved. Find an odd perfect number or prove one doesn’t exist. The search involves “spoof” answers, trying to find the right answer (or prove it doesn't exist) by looking at wrong answers. Hey, nothing else has worked. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-art-of-mathematics/message
