On Monday, February 7th, 4-5PM, in Williams Hall 320, we will have our first Math Colloquium Talk of the Spring term, presented by Professor Megan Martinez.
Islamic Geometric Design refers to a vast array of beautiful designs that were developed over centuries in predominantly Islamic regions of the world. At its core, geometric design focuses on creating interest with symmetry and color, and is the perfect marriage of mathematics and art. In this talk we will learn about the beautiful designs that evolved over the centuries and learn how we can recreate these designs with nothing but a compass and straightedge!
Come prepared to draw and experiment. Materials will be provided! No art skills required!
