  • Creativity and Rigor: a Bead Crochet Mathematics Course
    Bridges 2021 Conference Proceedings Creativity and Rigor: A Bead Crochet Mathematics Course Eve Torrence Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Virginia, USA; [email protected] Abstract In the fall semesters of 2018 and 2019 I taught a general education mathematics course motivated by bead crochet for the Randolph-Macon College Honors program. The course is based on the booK Crafting Conundrums: Puzzles and Patterns for the Bead Crochet Artist by Ellie BaKer and Susan Goldstine. The mathematical content of the course and two of the most complex projects are described in this paper. Many images of student worK are included. Introduction Crafting Conundrums: Puzzles and Patterns for the Bead Crochet Artist by Ellie Baker and Susan Goldstine [1] contains a wealth of mathematical ideas for designing bead crochet bracelets. Topics covered include topology, graph theory, the Four-color Theorem, Knot theory, tessellations, and wallpaper groups. When I first read this manuscript, I immediately thought this book would be a great way to introduce interesting mathematical topics that most undergraduate students never get to study. At Randolph-Macon College we have the opportunity to design and teach creative special topics courses in our Honors Program. These courses have a limited enrollment of 15 and cannot require any prerequisites. They are primarily taKen by first- and second-year students and most of the students enrolled in this course were not mathematics majors. In fact, some students selected this course because they had previously struggled in traditional mathematics courses. Would it really be possible to introduce students to all these topics, have them solve challenging math problems, and teach them to bead crochet, all in one semester? Mathematics Motivated by Bead Crochet Design Challenges BaKer and Goldstine have extensively analyzed the challenges of bead crochet bracelet design using their mathematical training.

She has worked as a high-school fine arts teacher, a software engineer, and a computer science researcher, including positions at Harvard University and at computing pioneers Bolt, Beranek and Newman and Thinking Machines Corporation. In her research, Ellie’s interest in blending analytic and visual thought led her to study facial image database search strategies and to develop the Drawing Evolver, an interactive system for creating drawings of faces and other subjects using simulated evolution. Independently and in collaboration with others, she has produced artworks exhibited in juried shows of mathematical art, such as the national Joint Mathematics Meetings, Bridges (an international mathematics and art interdisciplinary conference), and MoSAIC (Mathematics of Science, Art, Industry, and Culture).

  • Extended Introduction with Online Resources
    Extended Introduction with Online Resources Mircea Pitici This is the sixth anthology in our series of recent writings on mathemat- ics selected from professional journals, general interest publications, and Internet sources. All pieces were first published in 2014, roughly in the form we reproduce (with one exception). Most of the volume is accessible to readers who do not have advanced training in mathematics but are curious to read well- informed commentaries about it. What do I want by sending this book into the world? What kind of experience I want the readers to have? On previous occasions I answered these questions in detail. To summarize anew my intended goal and my vision underlying this series, I use an extension of Lev Vygotsky’s con- cept of “zone of proximate development.” Vygotsky thought that a child learns optimally in the twilight zone where knowing and not know- ing meet—where she builds on already acquired knowledge and skills, through social interaction with adults who impart new knowledge and assist in honing new skills. Adapting this idea, I can say that I aspire to make the volumes in this series ripe for an optimal impact in the imagi- nary zone of proximal reception of their prospective audience. This means that the topics of some contributions included in these books might be familiar to some readers but novel and instructive for others. Every reader will find intriguing pieces here. Besides offering a curated collection of articles, each book in this series doubles into a reference work of sorts, for the recent nontechni- cal writings on mathematics—with the caveat that I decline any claim to being comprehensive in this attempt.
