In addition to looking at art and architecture, we'll cover any mathematics-related topics as we go along. The Math Topics for the first unit will be an introduction to the triangle in general, and the so-called Egyptian triangle, contained in the great pyramid. Since the Egyptian triangle contains the golden ratio, we'll introduce the ideas of ratio and proportion here, and for squaring of the circle, we must be able to find perimeters and areas of the square and the circle. The plan is to go more or less chronologically, following threads of Art, Mathematics, and Architecture, from Egypt to the present.
