Crafty Geometry
Science Buzz Scientists are finding an unexpected relationship between knitting and math. Put down those little baby booties and knit a Lorenz manifold for the scientist in your life instead. It makes a perfect gift for anyone who’s getting their PhD in math, and looks like it could make a very lovely avant-garde brooch that has “chaotic chic” written all over it.
