This year's Diagram Prize for oddest book title goes to Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes, by mathematician Dr. Daina Taimina. A hyberbolic plane is a "two-dimensional quadratic space with a non-singular isotropic quadratic form". This: Visit Dr. Daina Taimina online. * This post contains affiliate links.
It's art, it's math, and it's amazing! Check out these 10 examples of math in crochet art and see how these topics are represented in crochet.
Hooks and Loops : Crocheting Algorithms and Fabrication in Architecture WORK IN PROGRESS Seminar Department of Architecture AAP Cornell University Spring 2011 with Seok Yoon, Jungwook Lee The loop stitch is a noeud coulant: a knot that, if untied, causes the whole system to unravel. It is an element in making stockings, in knitting and crocheting, and the particular way it is formed is dictated by the tools employed and the use intended. […] I can only say that it is an extremely refined [art] and yields products whose properties can be achieved in no other way. They carry the elements of their richest ornaments in themselves and in their construction. Elasticity and ductility are the specific advantage of these products; this makes them especially suited to close-fitting dressings that embrace the figure and define it without fold. --Gottfried Semper, ʻStyleʼ, 1860, Getty Publications (2004) Crocheting activates a single line—the thread—to generate an elastic surface by moving around and through an empty core. The topology of a crocheted fabric is relatively complex: The thread follows a loopy path along its row, with the loops of one row being pulled through the loops of the row subjacent to it. The elasticity of a crochet piece is unavailable from woven fabrics, which only stretch along the bias.

One may recall from their geometry class that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. This comes from the Euclidean or "flat" geometry, which includes something called the "parallel postulate" which states that if you were to draw two points next to one another, then extend from those points two lines that…
