商品描述
Geometry for the Artist is based on a course of the same name which started in the 1980s at Maharishi International University. It is aimed both at artists willing to dive deeper into geometry and at mathematicians open to learning about applications of mathematics in art. The book includes topics such as perspective, symmetry, topology, fractals, curves, surfaces, and more. A key part of the book's approach is the analysis of art from a geometric point of view--looking at examples of how artists use each new topic. In addition, exercises encourage students to experiment in their own work with the new ideas presented in each chapter.
This book is an exceptional resource for students in a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course, and since many assignments involve writing about art, this text is ideal for a writing-intensive course. Moreover, this book will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in connections between mathematics and art.
Features
- Abundant examples of artwork displayed in full color
- Suitable as a textbook for a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course
- Designed to be enjoyed by both artists and mathematicians
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《藝術家的幾何學》是基於1980年代在馬哈希國際大學開設的同名課程。這本書的目標對象是希望深入了解幾何的藝術家，以及願意學習數學在藝術中應用的數學家。書中涵蓋的主題包括透視、對稱、拓撲、分形、曲線、表面等。這本書的一個關鍵方法是從幾何的角度分析藝術——觀察藝術家如何使用每個新主題的例子。此外，書中的練習鼓勵學生在自己的作品中實驗每章所介紹的新想法。
這本書是一般教育數學課程或教師教育幾何課程的學生的卓越資源，因為許多作業涉及撰寫有關藝術的內容，因此這本書非常適合寫作密集型課程。此外，任何對數學與藝術之間的聯繫感興趣的人都會喜歡這本書。
特色
- 豐富的全彩藝術作品範例
- 適合作為一般教育數學課程或教師教育幾何課程的教科書
- 設計上適合藝術家和數學家共同欣賞
作者簡介
Catherine A. Gorini is a professor of mathematics at Maharishi International University (MIU) in Fairfield, Iowa, where she has taught for over forty years and served as dean of the faculty and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Her interests include geometry and connections between geometry and art, as well as mathematics education, connections between mathematics and consciousness, and liberal arts education. She started developing a geometry course for art majors over thirty years ago. This course is now popular with students of all majors. Her numerous teaching awards include the Outstanding Teacher of the Year award by MIU students in 2021 and the Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics given by the Mathematical Association of America in 2001. She received the 2019 Wege Award for Research from MIU.
Gorini edited Geometry at Work, published by the Mathematical Association of America, wrote the Facts on File Geometry Handbook, and has published journal articles in geometry, mathematics education, connections between mathematics and art, and the relationship between consciousness and mathematics. She is the executive editor of the International Journal of Mathematics and Consciousness and holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of Virginia in algebraic topology.
