Series of 20 illustrations inspired by the geometry of a conformal map. Widely used in Physics and engineering, conformal mapping also makes for an unusual and appealing art-form. This book does not so much focus on the function itself and its mathematical elegance but put this unique abstract form in a larger visual and perceptual context. While having no bearing on the technical implication of the concept, I hope this artistic exploration of a significant geometry shape will encourage further interest in the captivating world of science, mathematics, and art. This book is also available full color and with a media file on the Apple store @http://bit.ly/JCDigitalBooks and on GoogleBooks @ http://bit.ly/JCGBooks
