100 ESSENTIAL THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT MATHS AND THE ARTS
Book ID/图书代码： 11320014B69271
English Summary/英文概要： From Pollock’s drip paintings to pop stars’ song patterns, a rapid-fire romp through surprising intersections between math and the arts.
At first glance, the worlds of math and the arts might not seem like comfortable neighbors. But as Cambridge mathematician John D. Barrow points out, they have a strong and natural affinity—after all, math is the study of all patterns, and the world of the arts is a place rich with pattern. With simple math and crystal-clear language, Barrow whisks us through 100 thought-provoking and often whimsical intersections between math and art, from the golden ratios of Mondrian’s rectangles to the curious fractal nature of Pollock’s drip paintings, to the next generation of monkeys on typewriters tackling Shakespeare. For those of us with our feet planted more firmly on the ground, Barrow also wields everyday equations to reveal how many security guards are needed in an art gallery or where you should stand to look at sculptures. Barrow’s witty and accessible observations are sure to spark the imaginations of math nerds and art aficionados alike. 85 illustrations
