09 A book about connections between math and the arts

[Evelyn]

I just participated in a semester at ICERM that was largely themed around connections between mathematics and art, so I feel like my brain is brimming with possibilities for this one. Here are a few.
Opt Art: From Mathematical Optimization to Visual Design
Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations (I did some fact checking/technical editing on this book)
Music: A Mathematical Offering
Temperament: How Music Became a Battleground for the Great Minds of Western Civilization
Mathematics and Art: A Cultural History
African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design
Fractals in Music: Introductory Mathematics for Musical Analysis

A nice recommendation on the fiction side: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It's not really dedicated to how math is related to art per say, but math is connected to art this story's "holistic" approach to nearly everything.

I have several unread books on my shelves from a science book club I once belonged to that are going to finally get read for this challenge. For this prompt, I am choosing Mathematics: The Science of Patterns: The Search for Order in Life, Mind and the Universe It is filled with art, music, architecture and other examples of patterns.
