Dr. Jay Kappraff - A new course in the mathematics of designI am developing, for next spring, a course in the Mathematics of Design for students from the new School of Design at NJIT that is part of the School of Architecture. The course is modeled after a course that I used to teach to students from the NJIT School of Architecture and that was the basis of my book Connections. The course will also be modeled after a course at University of Belgrade developed by Slavik Jablan and Radmila Sazdanovic. The course will include elements of Modular tilings, graph theory, theory of knots, fractals, 3-D geometry and Polyhedra, symmetry and music, theories of proportion, and projective geometry. The course will be project oriented with no examinations. Grades will be based on projects, scrapbooks and journals. The approach is informal and constructive with an emphasis on algorithms needed to carry out the projects rather than basic theory. My presentation in this conference includes images from various aspects of the course with special emphasis on an algorithmic and constructive approach to fractals and projective geometry. Dr. Jay Kappraff is from The New Jersey Institute of Technology. Note: Original video was 320x240. code pour embarquer la vidéo : >>> http://www.youtube.com/embed/peWLHl2ATeM <<< |
