This lavishly illustrated book provides a hands-on, step-by-step introduction to the intriguing mathematics of symmetry. Instead of breaking up patterns into blocks--a sort of potato-stamp ...

The solution to this month’s puzzle explains the artful mathematics behind symmetrical patterns. Look at the family of symmetrical curves below, one of which is featured in Farris’ book as a “mystery ...

In his new book Creating Symmetry, Frank Farris uses ideas from advanced mathematics, such as complex analysis and abstract algebra, to transform snapshots of landscapes, flowers, or even his dinner ...

The result is a geometrical shape, such as a sphere, a cone or a cylinder, that shows one example of the design element that was repeated to make the symmetrical pattern. As a tool, the orbifold ...

SymmetryWorks! is a major interdisciplinary multi-event project at Bowdoin based on the mathematical art of Frank Farris, a mathematician at Santa Clara University. The event begins Sept. 12. In his ...

We've looked at reversal patterns (head and shoulders pattern and inverse head and shoulders pattern). In this lesson, we cover continuation patterns, specifically the symmetrical triangle pattern.
