What do hyperbolic crochet and coral reef organisms have in common? They both evolved to maximize surface area within a limited volume. So, naturally, a crafty and talented group of mathematicians at ...

It's not often that members of the local crafting community have their work so prominently displayed in a Smithsonian museum. But this Saturday, October 16, the Natural History Museum's new exhibition ...

“Crochet Coral and Anemone Garden” with sea slug by Marianne Midelburg. Photos by Alyssa Gorelick. Some blogs are easier than others. This one has to do with math so forgive me if I botch some of the ...

This is a hyperbolic pseudosphere—made with nothing more than yarn and a crochet hook. Hyperbolic geometry describes surfaces that are negatively curved. If you're enjoying this article, consider ...

Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...

Endless variations evolving over time—much like life itself. The hyperbolic crochet coral reef has grown from the discovery that cutting-edge hyperbolic geometry could be found in the intricate ...
