Art Gallery Theorems and Algorithms is a mathematical monograph on topics related to the art gallery problem, on finding positions for guards within a polygonal museum floorplan so that all points of the museum are visible to at least one guard, and on related problems in computational geometry concerning polygons.
Multiplication machine Pseudosphere model. In March, 1961 a new science wing at the California Museum of Science and Industry [2] in Los Angeles opened. The IBM Corporation had been asked by the museum to make a contribution; IBM in turn asked the famous California designer team of Charles Eames and his wife Ray Eames to come up with a good proposal.
Examples of the use of mathematics in the visual arts include applications of chaos theory and fractal geometry to computer-generated art, symmetry studies of Leonardo da Vinci, projective geometries in development of the perspective theory of Renaissance art, grids in Op art, optical geometry in the camera obscura of Giambattista della Porta ...
From May 22 to October 27, 2024 Mathemalchemy was at the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) in New York City. From November 6, 2024 to May 2, 2025, the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) hosts the exhibition. As of November 2024, fundraising is underway to mount the exhibition at the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock, Arizona. [20]
