Ruffles Are a Mathematical Proof

In this episode i talk about hyperbolic geometry and how mathematicians couldn't build a model to represent for 200 years. A mathematician and crochet artist, Daina Taimina solved it with a crochet hook in an afternoon. She talks about it in her TED talk. It goes to show how craft knowledge can translate to intellectual knowledge.Interested in this topic?
