Crocheting Mathematics
Hanne Kekkonen
Crochet provides a superior method for the production of two-dimensional surfaces from one-dimensional material. Compared to any of the other known processes to generate constant f…
Crocheting Bour's minimal surfaces
Hanne Kekkonen
Minimal surfaces can be though as a mathematical generalisation of surfaces formed by soap films. We consider Bour's minimal surfaces that are intrinsically surface…
Exploring Mathematics with Curvagon Tiles
Hanne Kekkonen
Building blocks and tiles are an excellent way of learning about geometry and mathematics in general. There are several versions of tiles that are either snapped together or connec…
Do the Angles of a Triangle Add up to 180°? -- Introducing Non-Euclidean Geometry
Hanne Kekkonen
How can we convince students, who have mainly learned to follow given mathematical rules, that mathematics can also be fascinating, creative, and beautiful? In this paper I discuss…
