Description - Visions of the Universe by Alex Bellos

For curious minds throughout history, math was truly an art. In Visions of the Universe, you can pick up right where Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, and other luminaries left off--by coloring 58 exquisite patterns inspired by great discoveries in math:

  • Intricate geometric designs like those that grace the mosques of Mecca
  • Felix Klein's astounding diagram--drawn in 1897--of light reflecting between five mirrored spheres
  • A mind-bending puzzle so beautiful it once hung outside a Japanese temple, and more!

Plus, in the Creating chapter, you'll help complete 10 additional images by following simple steps that give spectacular results. No math knowledge is required: Anyone can be an artist in Numberland!
