An unusual way of modeling non-Euclidean Geometry, in fact the only way to make a physical model of hyperbolic space that allows us to feel, and to tactilely explore, the properties of this unique geometry: crochet. You can see more and read about it here.
Since March is woman's month, here is one more homage to the women Mathematicians- and one more of their contributions!

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make such masterpieces which she called "sea flowers". Though she knew nothing about geometry, euclidean or non euclidean, she could see the beauty in it !

I find working with textiles very relaxing. Even if you don't know about geometry, there is a lot of Maths involved in crochet, cross stitch, knitting. And results are reasonable, beautiful, ordered. So, not only music but needle work has connection with Maths.
