Abstract.
Jack Rees discusses his experience teaching geometry to artists. The aim is to introduce scientific ideas to arts students through the visualizations that are such an important part of discourse in science. Described are the intellectual context, define selected concepts using geometry and introduce elementary mathematical formulae—all relying on graphic visualizations to make fundamental ideas clear. The goal is to provide a means by which visually sophisticated persons may think with geometry about culture
