Patterns of the Universe: A Coloring Adventure in Math and Beauty [Paperback]

From Alex Bellos (bestselling author of Heres Looking at Euclid) and mathematical artist Edmund Harriss, here is a unique?coloring book that offers both relaxation and inspiring insight into the hidden beauty of math.

The first section, Coloring, is filled with exquisite illustrations that subtly engage and enhance mathematical intuition, right?down to the selection of which colors to use (although no math knowledge is required)! And the second section, Creating,?gives the artist simple rules to follow that produce original, often extraordinary images.

Throughout, the authors include plainspoken explanations of the fascinating concepts at work. Some are already familiar?from art and nature (such as the Golden Ratio and tessellations), while others are stunning examples of found art in the?world of math (fractals, extreme Venn diagrams, tilings, and more)!

This meditative book reminds us that, at heart, mathematics is the quest to understand the patterns of the universe in their?purest form. Its a mathematical coloring adventure perfect for left- and right-brain thinkers!
