It is a surprise to many when they begin to realize how mathematical crochet is. Crochet can bring advanced, hard-to-visualize concepts to life - and I want to write about them.
Below is a list of posts I have created on this very topic. I chose to make a page rather than a category - so I can explain to the reader what he or she is looking at rather than leave some disappointed that I'm not talking about concepts related to crocheting.
| Chaos | A crochet model called the Lorenz manifold is used to visualize the movement of chaos as presented with the Lorenz attractor. |
| Clouds | A mathematically correct cumulus cloud is represented using yarn. |
| Hyperbolic Crochet | Using crochet to visualize the parallel postulate of a nonEuclidean geometric study. Shapes created by hyperbolic crochet are used to create beautiful sculptures representing coral reefs. |
| Mobius Strip | Crochet is often used to create "Infinity Scarves" or "Twist Scarves" which are nothing more than a wearable version of the Mobius Strip. |
