description: 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 artists 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.
