UPAS 181: Mathematics and Fiber Arts


Course Description
In this course, we will explore the relationship between mathematics and a variety of fiber arts.
By the end of the semester, you will be able to:
  • Identify and describe connections between numerous fields of mathematics and a variety of fiber arts.
  • Apply your skills (established or newly-learned) in the fiber arts to the creation of a mathematically-based project.
Prerequisites
None. Some working knowledge of a fiber arts technique is recommended but not required. The Mathematics content is intended to be accessible to all who have successfully completed a typical high school algebra/geometry sequence. (By fiber arts technique, I mean knitting, crochet, embroidery, quilting, sewing, weaving, or other similar skill.)
