The Ideal Vacuum
A Mathematical Art Project by Jessica Sklar, Shawna Holman,
and Matthew Fishburn
In this ongoing project, we present a collection of photographic metaphors for abstract algebraic concepts. The series has a two-fold purpose: first, to be available as a learning aid for abstract algebra students, and second, to be an attractive work of art that can perhaps engage the general public in conversations about higher-level mathematics.
You are encouraged to contribute your own photographic metaphors or suggestions of metaphors.
Please email any suggestions to sklarjk@plu.edu.
