[/caption]Associate Professor of Mathematics Karen Yokley presented two paintings of mathematical art work at the 2015 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio.
The conference featured an exhibition of mathematical artwork of various media, and Yokley’s paintings “Bubble Spiral” and “Pinwheel” were both included. Artistic works submitted for consideration in the exhibition are subject to a refereed process, and works are selected for inclusion based on mathematical content, esthetic appeal, medium, craftsmanship, and innovation and originality.
“Bubble Spiral” incorporates repetition, symmetry, and the idea of noise to data and includes spirals generated using the golden ratio. “Pinwheel” has layers of radial symmetry.
