Book Reviews of Making Mathematics with Needlework: Ten Papers and Ten Projects
Book Review: I love this book! Beautiful and educational
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I'm a bit of a math geek -- I have my masters in math. And I'm addicted to knitting books and yarn (as a quick perusal of my review history will demonstrate). So I ordered this book. Each chapter presents a new concept and a new project. The projects are not your typical fiber arts projects but they are all beautiful. They also should give even the most math-phobic individuals a new appreciation of the math.
I have taught math online to adult college students and this would be perfect "supplemental reading" to show people that math doesn't have to be scary.
Summary of Making Mathematics with Needlework: Ten Papers and Ten Projects
Beautifully illustrated, and with complete patterns and the mathematics behind each project, this book successfully connects the worlds of mathematics and the fiber arts. Each chapter covers a different mathematical paper and corresponding needlework project and includes mathematical explanations, needlework instructions, educational material, and specific projects to demonstrate the principles discussed.Logic & Brain Teasers Books
