Fractals: A Visual and Tactile Exploration Through Fractal Geometry
 

For my senior thesis, my goal was to create an interactive book that made math a tangible and interesting subject matter to anyone, regardless of their knowledge of mathematics. Through paper-based interactive elements housed in a printed book, including overlays, tabbed reveals, and paper folding, mathematical concepts become a hands-on experience that facilitates learning and makes math a visually interesting and interactive experience. This project was completed over ten weeks, all printing, engineering, and binding done by myself.
