Crochet is a textile art for creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn using a hook. Assoc. Prof of Mathematics Amanda Taylor Lipnicki will illustrate how math, including calculus, can be applied to design crochet patterns. The talk will be framed for a general audience with no knowledge of calculus or crochet.
