The Experimental Mathematics Lab is excited to announce a new project that merges mathematics and art: Quantitative Understanding, Imagination, and Learning with Textiles (that’s QUILT, for short). Participants will work together to create quilts that visually represent mathematical ideas such as symmetry, tessellations, algebraic structures, and more.
