Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple ...

Modern mathematics is the formal study of structures that can be defined in a purely abstract way, without any human baggage. Think of mathematical symbols as mere labels without intrinsic meaning.

You're Never Too Old to Color—Especially Math Patterns. ... a meditative experience—seemed like the perfect way to introduce the eternal truths and abstract perfection of the mathematical world." ...

By applying a mathematical formula to nearly 15,000 works of art created across 500 years, a team of scientists has uncovered hidden patterns in these masterworks.

The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in nature also holds for trees depicted in art—and may even underlie our ability to recognize artworks as depictions of trees.

Indeed, there seems to be a significant correlation between music and programming, but it has nothing to do with math. It's about the ability to identify and work with abstract patterns. Abstraction ...

Even abstract paintings such as Piet Mondrian's 1912 cubist Gray Tree, which doesn’t visually show treelike colours, can be identified as trees if a realistic value for α is used, researchers say.

Math underlies many of the art pieces M.C. Escher created, because he was fascinated with the idea of depicting infinity in various ways, producing infinitely repeatable patterns known as ...

A University of New Mexico mathematical biologist says these patterns may help humans recognize stylized images as trees. In Mondrian's increasingly abstract tree paintings, ...
