Read the rest of this entry »
Unified by the visual beauty of mathematics, Math in Art provides a cross-section of various mathematical areas. Beginning with a short description of Euclidean geometry, the text presents geometrical constructions exemplified by Fibonacci numbers, introduces groups of symmetries, and traces the historical development of geometry. It also reviews the basics of perspective drawing and addresses the notion of fractals. Accessible for a wide audience, the text features numerous illustrations, computer-generated graphics, photographs, and art reproductions. An accompanying CD-ROM contains animations and full-color images, while a supporting website offers additional material.
