100 ESSENTIAL THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MATHS AND THE ARTS
Barrow, John D.
100 ESSENTIAL THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MATHS AND THE ARTS - 1 - London The Bobley Head 2014 - 301
At first glance, the worlds of math and the arts might not seem like comfortable neighbors. But as mathematician John D. Barrow points out, they have a strong and natural affinity--after all, math is the study of all patterns, and the world of the arts is rich with pattern. Barrow whisks us through 100 thought-provoking and often whimsical intersections between math and many arts, from the golden ratios of Mondrian's rectangles and the curious fractal-like nature of Pollock's drip paintings to ballerinas' gravity-defying leaps and the next generation of monkeys on typewriters tackling Shakespeare"--Dust jacket flap.
