MATH 341 Mathematics of Design5 credits
Mathematics of Design examines the relationship between the concepts of mathematics and the disciplines of design, with emphasis on the interaction between visual thinking, digital design tools, and mathematical approaches to space, structure and form. Course content is selected from geometry, statistics, animation, search, virtual reality, information visualization, and modern mathematical fields such as fractals, cellular automata, and iconic math.
Prerequisites: Admission to the BTAD program.
Quarters Offered: Fall
