INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM MATHEMATICS & ART
-
MAUBEUGE, FRANCE SEPTEMBER 20-22, 2000
|
|
|
| |
| INTRODUCTION |
| |
| Objectives |
- (1) Allow artists to introduce work inspired by mathematics or based on mathematics
- (2) Allow mathematicians to introduce and discuss projects that can inspire both disciplines (tesselation, topology, surfaces trajectories)
- (3) Discussion on the usefulness of art as a tool to teach mathematics; comparisons of experiences and projects

| The Maubeuge symposium was organized in collaboration with the association for the diffusion of culture and art "Idem + Arts" directed by City Councilor Dr Francis Trincaretto. Coverage of the event can be found in "Le Monde" (Sept 27, 2000) and "The Economist" (November 17, 2000) You may also want to look for Richard Denner' report below relating to his presentation in several schools and colleges. |
