Here’s a lovely art installation at the top of Prospect Park in Brooklyn. This is Public Water from Mary Mattingly, and you can learn more here. I wonder what kind of relationship this artist has with mathematics.
I like the parallel paths traveling across the surface of this lampshade. I can’t recall ever seeing this irregular polyhedron before, with its equatorial belt of alternating isosceles triangles and trapezoids at the top and bottom.
There’s so much math in these window arrangements. I see patterns, permutations, and partitions. It’s like an ancient scroll showing examples of a primitive counting system.
