CGS2032: Math, Art and Computing
Mathematics and
art have a long historical relationship. People have been trying to understand
abstract structures and find artistic interpretation of data for years. The computation
power of modern computers makes it possible to visualize them and even create
more amazing mathematical and algorithmic art pieces.
This course will introduce interesting art and music examples
and present their artistic elegance from a mathematical perspective. Further,
students will learn how to translate ideas (i.e. mathematical models) into
programming codes to create generative art work using computers.
