... Owing is the opposite of having, so we find that we can associate the concept of 'minus' with '(the) opposite (of)'. This also works in reverse. Thus, ( −4) × 8 means "owing £4, eight times over" or "owing £32" which is −£32 . Now −32 is smaller than 8, so we have illustrated another case where mult ...

Mathematics and art



Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts.Mathematics and art have a long historical relationship. Artists have used mathematics since the 5th century BC when the Greek sculptor Polykleitos wrote his Canon, prescribing proportions based on the ratio 1:√2 for the ideal male nude. Persistent popular claims have been made for the use of the golden ratio in ancient times, without reliable evidence. In the Italian Renaissance, Luca Pacioli wrote the influential treatise De Divina Proportione (1509), illustrated with woodcuts by Leonardo da Vinci, on the use of proportion in art. Another Italian painter, Piero della Francesca, developed Euclid's ideas on perspective in treatises such as De Prospectiva Pingendi, and in his paintings. The engraver Albrecht Dürer made many references to mathematics in his work Melencolia I. In modern times, the graphic artist M. C. Escher made intensive use of tessellation and hyperbolic geometry, with the help of the mathematician H. S. M. Coxeter, while the De Stijl movement led by Theo van Doesberg and Piet Mondrian explicitly embraced geometrical forms. Mathematics has inspired textile arts such as quilting, knitting, cross-stitch, crochet, embroidery, weaving, Turkish and other carpet-making, as well as kilim.Mathematics has directly influenced art with conceptual tools such as linear perspective, the analysis of symmetry and mathematical objects such as polyhedra and the Möbius strip. The construction of models of mathematical objects for research or teaching has led repeatedly to artwork, sometimes by mathematicians such as Magnus Wenninger who creates colourful stellated polyhedra. Mathematical concepts such as recursion and logical paradox can be seen in paintings by Rene Magritte, in engravings by M. C. Escher, and in computer art which often makes use of fractals, cellular automata and the Mandelbrot set. Controversially, the artist David Hockney has argued that artists from the Renaissance onwards made use of the camera lucida to draw precise representations of scenes; the architect Philip Steadman similarly argued that Vermeer used the camera obscura in his distinctively observed paintings.Other relationships include the algorithimic analysis of artworks by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy; the stimulus to mathematics research by Filippo Brunelleschi's theory of perspective which eventually led to Girard Desargues's projective geometry; and the persistent view, based ultimately on the Pythagorean notion of harmony in music and the view that everything was arranged by Number, that God is the geometer of the world, and that the world's geometry is therefore sacred. This is seen in artworks such as William Blake's The Ancient of Days.
