“Math as Art and Art as Math” by Professor Jake Wildstrom

Description: Mathematics has served as a tool for representational art and even as a subject of art, featured by visionaries ranging from M.C. Escher to Jorge Luis Borges. Art can also inform the way we view mathematics, with aesthetic considerations making math more comprehensible. Artists, mathematicians, and educators have devoted significant effort to exploring the boundaries between these disciplines, with promising and often beautiful results.

Bio: Jake Wildstrom has been a mathematics professor at the University of Louisville since 2007, studying mathematical properties of communication and transportation systems. In his free time he plays board games, crochets, brews beer, and repairs mechanical calculators
