Math Art

Description

The worlds of visual art and Mathematics come together in this spectacular volume by award-winning writer Stephen ornes. He explores the growing sensation of math art, presenting more than 80 pieces, including a crocheted, colourful representation of non-euclidian Geometry that looks like sea Coral and a 65-ton, 28-foot-tall Bronze sculpture covered in a space-filling curve. For each work, we get the artist's story followed by accessible and thought-provoking explanations of the mathematical concept and equations behind the art. From 3d-printed objects that give real form to abstract mathematical theories, to mystic fractals, to Andy Warhol as a solution to the travelling salesman problem, these artworks embody some of strangest, most beautiful relationships among numbers and across dimensions. Review: Beautifully explained with large photos. - How Math Art is related to the design and construction of Architecture Review: Math book to explain mc Escher drawings - My 8 year old grandson has been fascinated by mc escher for years. I have talked to him about the math and geometry that go into the drawings. I got him this book for a better understanding of the development of the drawings. It is a bit advanced for his age but he told me that was okay because he could keep learning from it.
