Mathematical Technocraft

Abstract: By combining mathematics, technology, and craft we can produce physical and visual artifacts that help us discover and explore new ideas. We'll discuss a range of topics from knot theory to the fiber arts, and use code, 3D printing, and vintage punch card knitting machines to create pattern generation tools and physical models that illustrate and clarify the underlying mathematics. We'll also discuss the ups and downs of design processes that include challenges that arise from intersecting mathematics, technology, and crafting.
