While many fields of advanced mathematics do not apply to the everyday lives of most people, even the non-artist would not dare to ask if all the paintings worth seeing have already been painted. Not only is this book filled with great mathematics, each concept is presented with wonderful graphics.
History is intertwined throughout.
This book is a history of the evolution of mathematical ideas that are presented in such a way that non-mathematicians can enjoy. Rigorous mathematics is not avoided. The titles say enough about the contents. The Math Form is a one-stop shopping place for math teachers and students alike. The Famous Curves Index is a fine resource for those interested in curves.
