Mathematical art



The recent Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego featured an exhibition of work by forty mathematician/artists. Science News looks at several of the artworks that draw from dynamical systems, topology, and fractals. At left, a piece by Oberline College professor Robert Bosch:
The white line above forms a single loop, dividing the page into two regions. Looked at from afar, the image forms a Celtic knot.
At right, work by University of Houston professor Michael Field:
"Coral Star" shows the motion brought about by one particular dynamical system.
