A Gallery of Theorems (Fall 2025)

regular tiling of curvilinear shapes

Supervisor:Ìý Dr. Sarah PetersenÌý

°Õ¾±³¾±ð±ô¾±²Ô±ð:Ìý Students will work 5 hours per week during the Fall 2025 semester and can choose to either be paid for their work or earn up to 2 hours of academic credit.

Description:ÌýStudents will study theorems and work to represent the key concepts using artistic mediums of their choice. Exact choice of mathematical content and artistic mediums will be guided by students' areas of interest, but could include painting, drawing, animations, comics, video, dance, and/or music. The artistic products produced will contribute to dual goals of visualization and outreach, making more abstract mathematical concepts accessible to be experienced through art, similar to how one can experience an abstract idea in a museum by simply walking by and observing. Depending on what is produced, we will look for suitable outreach and display venues to engage with the local community both on and off campus. A sampling of student work from when the project ran during the spring 2024 semester can be viewed at
