It is organized by material, rather than by subject area, and purposefully emphasizes the process of creating things, including discussions of failures that occurred along the way. As a result, the reader can learn from the experiences of those who came before, and will be inspired to create their own illustrations. Topics illustrated within include prime numbers, fractals, the Klein bottle, Borromean rings, tilings, space-filling curves, knot theory, billiards, complex dynamics, algebraic surfaces, groups and prime ideals, the Riemann zeta function, quadratic fields, hyperbolic space, and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Everyone who opens this book should find a type of mathematics with which they identify. Each contributor explains the mathematics behind their illustration at an accessible level, so that all readers can appreciate the beauty of both the object itself and the mathematics behind it. 650 0 $a Mathematics $x Graphic methods. 650 0 $a Mathematics $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Computer art. 650 0 $a Educational technology. 700 1 $a Davis, Diana J., $d 1985- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=905C920E46CE11EDAEABB6A229ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
