  2. Mathematics and art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_art

    Mathematics has directly influenced art with conceptual tools such as linear perspective, the analysis of symmetry, and mathematical objects such as polyhedra and the Möbius strip. Magnus Wenninger creates colourful stellated polyhedra, originally as models for teaching.

  5. Mathematical diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_diagram

    In mathematics, and especially in category theory, a commutative diagram is a diagram of objects, also known as vertices, and morphisms, also known as arrows or edges, such that when selecting two objects any directed path through the diagram leads to the same result by composition.

    His first study of mathematics began with papers by George Pólya [34] and by the crystallographer Friedrich Haag [35] on plane symmetry groups, sent to him by his brother Berend, a geologist. [36] He carefully studied the 17 canonical wallpaper groups and created periodic tilings with 43 drawings of different types of symmetry.

  7. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Perspective drawing is useful for representing a three-dimensional scene in a two-dimensional medium, like paper. It is based on the optical fact that for a person an object looks N times (linearly) smaller if it has been moved N times further from the eye than the original distance was.

  8. Mathematical visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_visualization

    The Mandelbrot set, one of the most famous examples of mathematical visualization.. Mathematical phenomena can be understood and explored via visualization.Classically, this consisted of two-dimensional drawings or building three-dimensional models (particularly plaster models in the 19th and early 20th century).

  9. Mathematical beauty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_beauty

    The beauty of mathematics is experienced when the physical reality of objects are represented by mathematical models. Group theory, developed in the early 1800s for the sole purpose of solving polynomial equations, became a fruitful way of categorizing elementary particles—the building blocks of matter.
