mathematics in textiles

explore the importance of geometric patterns in artistic design. Since ancient times, human beings have observed the world around them and found recurring patterns in nature. The Golden Proportion, the Fibonacci Series, symmetry movements, tessellations and fractals are some of the mathematical ideas that have found their way into art and architecture for thousands of years.

nature or chaos hs an order in which it occurs. this order is always pleasing to the eye because it relates to what we understand as proportion.
its about using algebraic equations to formukate the weaving pattern

or the fibonacci series-
A mathematical sequence consists of a series of numbers, usually starting at 0 or 1, all of which are derived from preceeding ones according to formal rules. In other words, no matter where you are in the sequence you ought to be able to deduce what the following number should be.The fascinating thing about it is that this sequence is actually found in nature with amazing frequency
