This week the topic was maths and art. We interviewed Edmund Harris, who spoke about his work using different media to engage people with mathematics, including his work creating art with a mathematical basis. We discussed his work with tilings and how he uses maths in his work. Interesting links: Edmund's website Edmund's Blog where he posts some examples of his work Mathematical Imagery page at the American Mathematical Society Wallpaper Patterns at EscherMath Puzzle: Look for examples of tilings in the world around you - patterns which repeat, or have reflection symmetry, and see how many you can find.
