From geometry in motion to the possibilities of pi, this stunning volume reveals how art has been inspired by the beauty and poetry of mathematical principles.
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, colorful 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 Traveling Salesman Problem, these artworks embody some of strangest, most beautiful relationships among numbers and across dimensions.

Math Art Truth Beauty and Equations Stephen Ornes 9781454930440 Books Reviews
- This book takes a deep and lively dive into the intersection of math and art, how artists are inspired by math, and math types express their passion through art. Beautifully and elegantly written, this book tells tales I wouldn't have thought to imagine, and does so with out the stodgy gravity of a textbook. Very well done, and recommend this highly.
