Mathematics has been used in the design of Gothic cathedrals, Rose windows, oriental rugs, mosaics and tilings. Geometric forms were fundamental to the cubists and many abstract expressionists, and award-winning sculptors have used topology as the basis for their pieces. Dutch artist M.C. Escher represented infinity, Möbius bands, tessellations, deformations, reflections, Platonic solids, spirals, symmetry, and the hyperbolic plane in his works.</div> <bR> <div> Mathematicians and artists continue to create stunning works in all media and to explore the visualization of mathematics--origami, computer-generated landscapes, tesselations, fractals, anamorphic art, and more.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.professionaltutor.net/lessons/sitefiles/index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.professionaltutor.net/lessons"><IMG SRC="082ed290.png" border=0 width="237" height="41" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.professionaltutor.net/lessons/sitefiles/index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.professionaltutor.net/lessons">FOUNDATIONS COURSE</A></div> <div> <B>A Video Collection and Tutorial</B></div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="361_short_videos_covering_all_areas_of"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>361 short videos covering all areas of basic mathematics. </div> <div> Material can located by topic or by index.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.mhschool.com/math/2009/ca/assets/factdash.html" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.mhschool.com/math/2009/ca/ass"><B>FactDash</B></A></div> <div> A little application from Mc-Graw Hil to help students master their Math Facts</div> <div> (Addition, Subtraction, Mulitplication, Division, and Mixed Problems)</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.mhschool.com/math/2009/ca/assets/factdash.html" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.mhschool.com/math/2009/ca/ass"><IMG SRC="286702f0.jpg" border=0 width="112" height="47" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.phschool.com/atschool/cmp2/active_math/index.html" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.phschool.com/atschool/cmp2/ac"><B>Connected Math Learning Activities</B></A></div> <div> A wonderful set of interactive math learning games for grades</div> <div> 6, 7, and 8.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.phschool.com/atschool/cmp2/active_math/index.html" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.phschool.com/atschool/cmp2/ac"><B><IMG SRC="28f7c440.jpg" border=0 width="380" height="68" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Key Concepts in California Mathematics</B></div> <div> Access PDF files containing good explanations of each key concept along with several</div> <div> example problems.
