Beschreibung
Presents a unifying mathematical structure to explore the relationship between maths and the arts, including architecture, music, poetry and more. Assumes only a basic high school grasp of maths and includes self-contained mathematical proofs so that readers can pay them as much or as little attention as they wish. Illustrated throughout.
