Download or read book Geometry for the Artist written by Catherine A. Gorini and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometry for the Artist is based on a course of the same name which started in the 1980s at Maharishi International University. It is aimed both at artists willing to dive deeper into geometry and at mathematicians open to learning about applications of mathematics in art. The book includes topics such as perspective, symmetry, topology, fractals, curves, surfaces, and more. A key part of the book’s approach is the analysis of art from a geometric point of view—looking at examples of how artists use each new topic. In addition, exercises encourage students to experiment in their own work with the new ideas presented in each chapter. This book is an exceptional resource for students in a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course, and since many assignments involve writing about art, this text is ideal for a writing-intensive course. Moreover, this book will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in connections between mathematics and art. Features Abundant examples of artwork displayed in full color Suitable as a textbook for a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course Designed to be enjoyed by both artists and mathematicians
Download or read book Crystallography and Surface Structure written by Klaus Hermann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In den Oberflächen- und Nanowissenschaften ist ein fundiertes Verständnis lokaler Geometrie und Symmetrie von Kristallen und deren Oberflächen von entscheidender Bedeutung, da die Kristallstruktur viele physikalische und chemische Parameter mitbestimmt. Studenten und Forscher in Physik, Chemie und Materialwissenschaften erhalten hierzu mit dem vorliegenden Buch sowohl eine wertvolle Einführung wie auch ein nützliches Nachschlagewerk. Das Buch führt insbesondere scheinbar disparate Beschreibungen und Notationen zusammen, die ständig von Oberflächen- und Nanowissenschaftlern benötigt werden. Professor Hermann ist als Wissenschaftler im Bereich der theoretischen Oberflächenphysik ausgewiesen und bekannt als Koautor der NIST Surface Structure Database (SSD), einer absoluten Referenz in der Struktur- und Oberflächenwissenschaft. Seine Arbeiten zur Oberflächenvisualisierung dokumentiert er auch in diesem Buch, in dem aufwändige Grafiken der zahlreichen Beispiele die mathematisch formal gewählte Herangehensweise illustrieren. Übungen mit unterschiedlichem Schwierigkeitsgrad - von einfachen Fragen bis zu kleinen Forschungsprojekten - regen die Diskussion zu den unterschiedlichen Themen an.

Download or read book Lunda Geometry Mirror Curves Designs Knots Polyominoes Patterns Symmetries written by Paulus Gerdes and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Lunda Geometry" explains how the mathematical concepts of mirror curves and Lunda-designs were discovered in the context of the author's research of 'sona', illustrations traditionally made in the sand by Cokwe storytellers from eastern Angola (a region called Lunda) and neighboring regions of Congo and Zambia. Examples of mirror curves from several cultures are presented. Lunda-designs are aesthetically attractive and display interesting symmetry properties. Examples of Lunda-patterns and Lunda-polyominoes are presented. Some generalizations of the concept of Lunda-design are discussed, like hexagonal Lunda-designs, Lunda-k-designs, Lunda-fractals, and circular Lunda-designs. Lunda-designs of Celtic knot designs are constructed.Several chapters were published in journals like 'Computers & Graphics' (Oxford), 'Visual Mathematics' (Belgrade), and 'Mathematics in School' (UK).

Download or read book Symmetries of Culture written by Dorothy K. Washburn and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking collaboration between an anthropologist and a mathematician constitutes both a collection of symmetrical pattern designs from many cultures and a monograph on pattern design and the classification of symmetrical patterns. Intended for art historians, anthropologists, classical archaeologists, and others interested in the study of material culture, it can also serve as a reference and inspiration for the use of symmetrical patterns in art and design. "This richly illustrated study brings to light dozens of intriguing examples of symmetrical designs, for instance, in a Zulu loincloth, a Japanese chopstick case, a New England quilt, a Tibetan 'Plaque of a Thousand Lamas,' a Hawaiian water gourd. The same pattern found in a fantastical drawing of lizards by M. C. Escher is echoed in a Fijian basket lid and an Egyptian wall mosaic." — Publishers Weekly "This extremely useful guide to classifying plane pattern designs … is extensively illustrated with carvings, textiles, baskets, tiles, and poetry, which are used as examples of various symmetry patterns." — American Anthropologist "An impressive book—both in terms of its physical appearance and its content ... will undoubtedly become the major reference on the analysis of patterns in terms of symmetry properties." — Antiquity

Download or read book Autocad 2014 for Engineers Volume 1 For Polytechnic Student written by Dey, Sankar Prasad and published by Vikas Publishing House. This book was released on with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to use a CAD system is compulsory for engineers and designers. It is necessary to begin with the basic alphabets of AutoCAD and learn how to use it correctly and effectively through continuous practice. CAD systems create designs using basic geometric entities and many constructions used in technical designs. Universities, engineering colleges, polytechnics and ITIs of our country have also modified their syllabi according to industry needs and have introduced 'AutoCAD' as an important sessional subject. As per AICTE guided syllabus for diploma level of engineering, AutoCAD 2D and 3D have been introduced in the subject 'Professional Practice-I' in 3rd semester and 'Professional Practice-II' in 4th semester in most of the branches (mechanical, civil, automobile, architecture, electrical, etc.).This book will be invaluable for the students of Professional Practice-I. SALIENT FEATURES • Use of the latest version of software AutoCAD 2014 • Easy for those using earlier version of AutoCAD in which ribbon concept was not included • Variety of worked-out examples as per AICTE recommended syllabus • Step-by-step command prompts • Detailed applications of each command with explanation • Examples for every topic • Command sequences given for every example for the beginner
