Mathematics of Art and Culture

Catalog description

This class will allow students at Clayton State to broaden their mathematical background by acquiring knowledge in the area of geometry and classical related problems. This will be achieved by both theoretical studies in the classroom and field experience abroad. The latter will include in-person observations to monumental structures and historical works. The main topics considered will include conics, golden ratios, catenaries, magic squares, tesselations, fractals, and various geometric manifolds.
