We all know that art, symmetry, beauty and mathematics are well intertwined. Since 1998 the Bridges Organization organised an annual conference bringing together mathematicians and artists. All very interesting stuff and shows that mathematics can be appreciated by those who are not traditional mathematicians.
The next conference is July 25-29, 2012 at Towson University, located in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area.
I guess I will now have to go away and create some interesting computer graphics or something! (Not that I think I will be attending this conference)
I have a rainy day project in my back pocket. I am a bit of a fan of NIN and Trent Reznor’s earlier years. I have always wanted to mathematically generate music.
I have used Mathematica’s Play function to generate noise, not music LOL.
People have also converted the CMBR into a sound output. You can find out more here.
In a very real sense mathematics is an art form, and many mathematicians consider it to be such. It is an art form that requires a great deal of knowledge and manthematical taste in order to be able appreciate it. Gelfand’s proof of one of Weiner’s Tauberian theorems using Banach algebras is a good example of a beauty in mathematics — see any good text on functiional analysis.
