Art and Mathematics 1994 Conference
Carlos Rodriguez
Art and Mathematics Conference
University at Albany, SUNY
June 25-29, 1994
AM94 will consist of three days for slide-video talks (June 25, 26,
27) and two days for teacher workshops (June 28, 29). This year's
schedule is structured to allow more time for people to share ideas.
There will be group-interest meetings covering topics such as
sculpture, two- dimensional art, computer graphics, polyhedra
structures, and interdisciplinary curricula. The teacher workshops
will be concerned with classroom projects relating art and
mathematics.
A registration form is enclosed as well as motel information. Please
