If you've ever thought that mathematics and art don't mix, this
stunning visual history of geometry will change your mind. As much
a work of art as a book about mathematics, Beautiful Geometry
presents more than sixty exquisite color plates illustrating a wide
range of geometric patterns and theorems, accompanied by brief
accounts of the fascinating history and people behind each. With
artwork by Swiss artist Eugen Jost and text by math historian Eli
Maor, this unique celebration of geometry covers numerous subjects,
from straightedge-and-compass constructions to intriguing
configurations involving infinity. The result is a delightful and
informative illustrated tour through the 2,500-year-old history of
one of the most important branches of mathematics.
