A Gallery of Theorems

Supervisor:  Dr. Sarah Petersen 

Description: Students will study theorems and work to represent the key concepts using artistic mediums of their choice. Exact choice of mathematical content and artistic mediums will be guided by students' areas of interest, but could include painting, drawing, animations, comics, video, dance, and/or music. The artistic products produced will contribute to dual goals of visualization and outreach, making more abstract mathematical concepts accessible to be experienced through art, similar to how one can experience an abstract idea in a museum by simply walking by and observing. Depending on what is produced, we will look for suitable outreach and display venues to engage with the local community both on and off campus.
