Abstract

This workshop is aimed at encouraging creative engagement with the form of the mathematical paper, to encourage both paying serious attentions to such forms, and a more empowered engagement with mathematical texts. Participants are encouraged to cut up and reconfigure existing mathematical texts, to create poetry, to organise them according to new logics, and to use colour and space in a creative re-presentation of the material. The aim is, through experimentation, both to see creative new possibilities, and to better understand how communication is achieved and what is communicated in the paper’s existing form.
