Yesterday I visited Sydney's
Powerhouse Museum where two books linking mathematics and art were launched.
A Maths Odyssey, beautifully illustrated by Matt Huynh, traces the history of mathematics from Euclid to quantum mechanics. The other is a collection of works from students of the Thinking Hyperbolically! course at International Grammar School in Sydney. The students used mathematical concepts such as data mapping, ciphers and parabolas to create visual masterpieces such as those pictured here.
You'll have to forgive me for a little parental pride in this post, since my 15-year-old son is a member of the class.
