Making Mathematics with Needlework : Ten Papers and Ten Projects, Hardback Book

Making Mathematics with Needlework : Ten Papers and Ten Projects Hardback

Edited by sarah-marie (Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, USA) belcastro, Carolyn Yackel

Part of the AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series series

Hardback

Description

Mathematical craftwork has become extremely popular, and mathematicians and crafters alike are fascinated by the relationship between their crafts.

The focus of this book, written for mathematicians, needleworkers, and teachers of mathematics, is on the relationship between mathematics and the fiber arts (including knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, and quilting).

Each chapter starts with an overview of the mathematics and the needlework at a level understandable to both mathematicians and needleworkers, followed by more technical sections discussing the mathematics, how to introduce the mathematics in the classroom through needlework, and how to make the needlework project, including patterns and instructions.
