• Resumen

  • Thompson explores the weaving connections between geometry and algebra through dream catchers. For 500 years, dream catchers have been cultural symbols of intrigue worldwide. The most common folkloric design is a 12-point dream catcher. The weaving of a dream catcher requires a hoop, approximately 6 feet of string (for a 5 inch diameter hoop), beads, and feathers.
