<p>This exciting new book explores some of the surprising connections found among mathematics, science, and art. Driven by theory and practice, by rigorous research and free experimentation, <em>Sensing Geometry</em> relates seemingly “unrelated” ideas and phenomena in new and intriguing ways. While abstract mathematical objects, progressively built from self-contained systems, might be said to exist only in the mind, this interdisciplinary study shows how mathematical and scientific concepts have also been adapted into various forms of artistic expression – architecture, poetry, painting, and sculpture – as examples of hybrid thinking and creative process. With <em>Sensing Geometry</em>, the author develops a network of common elements broadly connecting a new world-view of nature.</p><p>Complementing the text are 123 illustrations and figures, including full-color reproductions of many famous works of art that embody and exemplify many of the concepts discussed in the text.</p>
