Fractals Editorial Review
Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations is an engrossing read for anyone interested in the beauty of mathematics, even those without an extensive mathematical background. The book covers a wide range of topics, from Euclid to the Traveling Salesman Problem and on to the infinite, including complex concepts such as hyperbolic geometry and set theory. The writing is clear, thought-provoking, and often humorous, with amusing chapter headings such as "Bugs, seahorses, and elephants, all the way down" for the Mandelbrot set. The illustrations are gorgeous and add to the book's appeal. The book even discusses the application of math in art, such as rule of thirds for photography, the golden ratio in art, and fractal patterns. It also covers the biology and physics of optical illusions, including the work of M.C. Escher. While some reviewers feel that the book lacks substantial math, it is still a worthwhile read. Highly recommended, even for those who might not Consider themselves math enthusiasts.
