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 ...

“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 ...

The winner of Britain's Diagram Prize for the year's oddest book title is Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes. A mathematician uses crochet to create the curving planes of complex geometry.

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 ...

A creative way of representing a mathematical principal has led to the creation of some crafty corals. WHAT DO YOU GET when you combine maths and environmentalism and a bit of crocheting? A coral reef ...

The Diagram Prize rewards bizarre and sometimes intentionally strange titles published the previous year. The winner was Dr Daina Taimina, a mathematician at Cornell University in New York, whose book ...

Yes, it’s a crocheted coral reef. But don’t laugh. These sumptuous swirls of wool hide some serious geometry. It all started in the mathematics department at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, ...
