Discovering the Art of Mathematics is a US based project to teach Mathematics for Liberal Arts. Their goal is to provide resources for teachers in liberal arts and humanities, that allow their students to explore mathematical experiences that are intellectually stimulating, provide cognitive and metacognitive gains, and introduce the mathematical way of thinking on these fields.

Their main resource is a library of 11 books, inquiry-based learning guides, that can be used to plan a semester long course on mathematics for liberal arts students, or by independent chapters to specific activities. Titles on this collection include geometry, music, dance, the infinite, games and puzzles, calculus, patterns, and more. All the contents of the library are freely available on their website.

Discovering the Art of Mathematics is promoted and authored by professors of the Department of Mathematics of the Westfield State University (Minessota, United States).

The pedagogical standpoint is the inquiry-based learning, stimulating the active role of the students by curiosity.
