  1. Does Design need Mathematics? Human Ingenuity

  2. Shape, change and movement Some striking designs can be thought of as basic geometric shapes, which have been mathematically transformed:

  3. Shape, change and movement

  4. The world of advertising We see strong mathematical connections in corporate logos:

  5. The world of architecture We see strong mathematical connections in architecture:

  6. It’s everywhere! Flags:

  7. It’s everywhere! From Celtic Knots to Islamic Art to Tattoos and Body Art:

  8. The world of art We see strong mathematical connections in art. Here are some works by, or inspired by Escher:

  9. So what’s this unit about? It leans heavily on the language of geometrical transformation We will need to know and be able to use these words and terms (and others like them): REFLECT ROTATE ENLARGE TRANSLATE TESSELLATION STRETCH SHEAR LINE SYMMETRY ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY

  10. … tell me more … We will need to understand the mathematics of geometric transformations – both on shapes and on mathematical functions. To do this we need to be comfortable with coordinate geometry, with algebraic functions and with loci and constructions (don’t worry – we’ll get a chance for quick revision sessions. So …. You’ll be working on graphs, you’ll be using geometrical instruments and you’ll be using technology!
