Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

Mathematics and art are generally viewed as very different disciplines – one devoted to abstract thought, the other to feeling. But sometimes the parallels between the two are uncanny. From Islamic ...

Long before anyone wrote down a number, early villagers were painting flowers with a precision that looks suspiciously like ...

On a set of broken clay bowls from northern Mesopotamia, delicate flower patterns have turned out to be something far more radical than decoration. New analysis of this ancient art suggests that early ...

Islamic geometric patterns and architecture represent a profound synthesis of mathematical precision and artistic expression inherent in centuries of cultural heritage. These patterns are not merely ...

An curved arrow pointing right. John Edmark makes his artwork with geometric formulas. Over his career he's studied math, architecture, computer science, art, and animation, and he uses all of them in ...

A study of medieval Islamic art has shown some of its geometric patterns use principles established centuries later by modern mathematicians. Researchers in the US have found 15th Century examples ...

Scientists analyze the world’s complexity to identify its underlying universal laws. Mystics immerse themselves in life’s complexity to experience a spiritual unity. And Arab artists from the eighth ...
