I have a slide show up at Scientific American with pictures of some of the beautiful mathematical needlework I saw at the Joint Math Meetings in January.
At the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore last month, belcastro, along with Mercer University mathematician Carolyn Yackel, organized a special session that brought together mathematics, mathematics education and fiber arts. The mathematician-crafters involved in the session explored a wide range of topics. Most presentations fell into two broad categories: mathematics in the service of arts, and arts in the service of mathematics.
