• Architecture is one of the best examples of the marriage between Art and Mathematics. Les Wallach, FAIA, senior architect of Line and Space Architects, is our keynote speaker Monday April 7.  He will talk about "Architecture of its time and place: the work of Line and Space" on Monday April 7. Look at the events page for more information.

• Helaman Ferguson is our keynote speaker for Friday April 11. He will talk about "Mathematics in Stone and Bronze." Look at the events page for more information. Fergusonis a sculptor and a mathematician.  His art is inspired by mathematical surfaces and structures.  His creations grace many public spaces around the country.
• Helaman and Claire Ferguson are the recipients of the prestigious Joint Policy Board for Mathematics (JPBM) Communications Award (2002). The citation for the 2002 award states: "JPBM Communications Award is presented to the Fergusons, who together have dazzled the mathematical community and a far wider public with exquisite sculptures embodying mathematical ideas, along with artful and accessible essays and lectures elucidating the mathematical concepts."
• Claire Ferguson, an artist in her own right, has won scholarships and prizes for her work. More information about Claire's book about Helaman's work can be found here.
• M.C. Escher, one of the most popular artists of the 20th century
• Kelly M. Houle is a UA graduate (mathematics major).  Her art uses anamorphic distortions.

Todd CadwalladerOlsker earned his Master's degree at the U of AZ in the summer of 2002 under the direction of Dr. David A. Gay and Dr. Maria Robinson.  His work is on map-coloring problems, a topic that which lies at the intersection of topology and graph theory.

• Pixar has created the movie Toy Story using mathematics to generate the animations.  The movie reflects more than nine years of creative and technical achievements. Read all about Pixar here.
• Kevin Wampler, our colloquium speaker for Thursday April 10, has provided many links to websites on imaging, computer graphics, and mathematics.

Knots

• Knotshave been studied extensively by mathematicians. Physicists and biologists have an interest in knots, as do artists.
• Our contest invloves a knot.  Solve the puzzle, win a prize. Look at the Contest page for more information.
