Mathematical Art

Just like math and science go hand in hand a great deal of math and art go hand in hand. I know this blog focuses on math used everyday, but some math stems from history. The website I found, http://mathforum.org/~sarah/shapiro/, addresses how math was used back in the day. The ancient Egyptians used to use string for a great deal of their math. This website consists of a great deal of links that include lesson plans that contain ancient Egyptian methods of how to do math. One of the links within the site is"Family Math", which describes a lesson dealing with measurement and using string to measure. It's fascinating. Have a look and tell me your thoughts.
