Mixing together my math education + experience in knitting and crochet + love of art, I came up with my book Crocheting Adventures with the Hyperbolic Planes and this blog. If you would like me to give a talk or workshop about art and math (not only about this connection in my own work), on history of mathematics, some fun with math,or something else - please contact me directly. I would be happy to participate with my work in your event - let me know!To see my art please visit http://dainataimina.blogspot.com/
