Course on Any Mathematical Topic:
If I could request a course on any mathematical topic that is not currently in our caralog, I would request to have a course that would explore a connection between art and math. I think there used to be one called Geometry in Art. They have some drawings in the 4th floor of Ewing and it seems really interesting. I hear a lot about math being used to construct amazing architecture and compose masterpieces with the Fibannoci numbrs in my art history classes. Also, the philosophy of math in ancient times can be seen sometimes through a civilization's art. Even a lot of modern artists explore many concepts of math to create their pieces of work.
Another possible class would be further exploring the concept of solving forensic cases with mathematics.

Cool ideas. I'd love to teach either of those courses. I was toying with the idea of doing a math/art thing in Math 512. Having people design and build tensegrity sculptures...cool math...cool art. Interested?
I would definitely be interested. I'm taking Math512 next semester anyway!
