Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations

excellent book. Artistic and clever

The best possible way to look at Mathematics is from the perspective of a wanderer, explorer, adventurer, and philosopher. Often Math is set in our minds as a guarded and exclusive intellectual empire, with the depths of its layers being ones that mere mortals cannot enter (at least that has been my experience!). Reframing Math thinking has been the most therapeutic choice I have made so far in my 25 years of living and I can now live the rest of my life learning about and loving not only Mathematics, but all the Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Poetry, you name it! Purchasing this book is likely to lead you down a path of intense and broad philosophical pursuit of many things packed inside its contents, so prepare yourself. Even if you consider yourself a thoroughly well-assimilated PhD Mathematician, I am sure there are still novel ways you can look at Mathematics that are shown in this book also!

Lovely book if you enjoy this sort of thing. Amazing images, many full page and interesting explanations.

This book is visually stunning and full of fascinating ideas linking art and mathematics—but if you’re looking for real mathematical depth, you might be disappointed. It leans more into the art and philosophy side, with only a surface-level look at the actual equations. Still worth a read if you’re into the aesthetics of math or want a gentle introduction, but not quite what I expected from the title. Great coffee table book, less great if you’re craving technical insight.

A great book for enthusiasts, artists, designers, programmers, etc. Full of mind bending curves!

Good quality photos

Beautiful book

Lots of colourful but unimpressive pictures. Might be of slight interest if you're into art, especially modern so-called "art", but I regard most of it as an insult to my intelligence. Very little mathematics. Failed to see the 'Truth', didn't see much 'Beauty', precious few 'Equations'. Huge disappointment.

If you have any interest at all in the beauty of mathematics then this is a must have. Not only are the illustrations amazing and right on point but the descriptions are clear and thought provoking, (without all those tedious numbers and equations). I will admit my higher math skills are just slightly above abysmal but the author makes the concepts clear and easy to understand, and puts an interesting and often humorous twist on them. For example the chapter on the Mandelbrot set opens with a sub header; “Bugs, seahorses, and elephants, all the way down.” (Playing on the old physics joke.) Then the concepts are explained in a clear and understandable way. From Euclid to the Traveling Salesman Problem and on to the infinite, with some quite surprising relationships along the way. A great read I couldn’t put down.

How Math Art is related to the design and construction of Architecture

Uma edição muito linda, papel de qualidade e bem diagramado. O conteúdo é realmente uma arte. Ótimo para pessoas de exatas e artistas, pois apresenta a união dos dois universos.

The artwork is a great illustration of how maths can be used to entice interest in artisitic students.

Gefällt mir sehr gut
