2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

In this hands-on math art workshop, we will start by exploring the Fibonacci/ Hemachandra/ bee number sequence and some examples of the beautiful Fib poetry written by Bridges Math and Art poets -- then write our own Fib poems! In the process, we'll discuss the reciprocal ways that mathematical forms can inspire and shape literary arts, and poetic works can spark deeper understandings of mathematics. We'll also talk about our experiences of using creative constraints to make both mathematics and the arts more approachable.
