Editorial Reviews
Review
This book demonstrates the interplay between mathematics and needlework, including stories of what happens when mathematicians turn to their hobbies but still continue to think about mathematics. I hope this book will encourage mathematicians to develop more tactile ways to explore abstract ideas and to make them more accessible to their students. But even if you are just looking for ""math craft"" ideas, this bookwith clear instructions and beautiful picturesis for you. Have fun with it! --DAINA TAIMINA, Adjunct Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
How exciting it is for this knitting nerd to see a book that combines two loves of my life, math and needlework! This book makes it clear why they were natural partners all along. I wish this had been one of my textbooks when I was in school. --NORAH GAUGHAN, author of Knitting Nature
A wonderful and validating book: mathematics from your fingertips to your brain and back again! --HELAMAN FERGUSON, Mathematical Sculptor
Product Description
Beautifully illustrated, and with complete patterns and the mathematics behind each project, this book successfully connects the worlds of mathematics and the fiber arts. Each chapter covers a different mathematical paper and corresponding needlework project and includes mathematical explanations, needlework instructions, educational material, and specific projects to demonstrate the principles discussed.
