Connections: The Geometric Bridge Between Art and Science

by Jay Kappraff

The aim of this book is to demonstrate the relationships between geometric forms and concepts and everyday shapes, forms and patterns. The author draws upon the work of noted designers and mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Escher, Penrose, Mandlebrot and Buckminster Fuller to show the connections between forms in nature, their basic mathematical concepts, and notions of what is beautiful and commodious.

This that big brain ish. More of a reference than a book to read. Good for mathematicians, some practical stuff.

I never did well in math because I needed to see the patterns to understand it. This book is great in helping you see the patterns that we call math and art.
