Each of them has a lot to say on the subject of visualizing mathematics and the place of mathematics in art, unfortunately each of them seems to be talking to a different audience. This is the typical trouble you frequently encounter with a book that is a series of articles by a number of authors versus one consolidated textbook. Several of the articles that are centered on math completely avoid formulas while others carefully define all terms and go very deep into theoretical mathematics.
To make matters somewhat more confusing, the articles are not in order of topic.
- Mo Urban Dictionary: Ridonkulous Street Slang Defined?
- I want students to know 2×3=6,;
- DEPARTMENTS.
Finally, several articles contain large amounts of philosophical or historical reflections on projects that are obviously important to the author, yet the author never bothers to introduce said project to the uninitiated reader. It is as though these particular articles were written by insiders for insiders.

However, there are some little gems in this book. There is a very good article by George Hart that includes an algorithmic description of how to build polyhedral sculptures in both computer and physical terms.
This article should be read by anyone interested in platonic solids, and it includes much practical advice. I also really liked three of the articles on the relationship between math and music. Neuwirth has an article that describes the mathematical history of instrument tuning in which he includes Mathematica code that enables the reader to experiment with the procedure and hear the results.
Simoes' article describes the algebra behind Schoenberg's tone construction. Hellegouarch's article is a good follow-on to Simoes' offering in that he offers the algebra of how singers can break the algebraic rules behind our usual mathematical scale and get away with it. There are two very good articles linking dynamical systems to the aesthetics of pleasing visual design. Finally, there are a couple of articles on how to integrate mathematics and art into a course. One of the authors describes a course he taught on knots that led to an exhibition.
Another explains how he used his own computer program as the centerpiece of an interdisciplinary course for art students. In conclusion, this book is very uneven as are many books that consist of articles by different authors, but it does have some unique and worthwhile entries that do fall under the banner of connecting math to art.

Students graduating with an MTV major may enter into the wide variety of fields focused on data analysis and visualization, including statistics, visual analytics, and geographic information systems and sciences.
Students can complete these regularly taught courses at UW Bothell or at another institution. These courses provide underpinnings of the quantitative models and essential mathematical ideas.
With New Technology, Mathematicians Turn Numbers into Art
Classes in this major will be offered primarily during day-time hours. Students will choose at least two courses that will help them develop the mathematical tools gained in their prerequisite and core courses. This list will evolve as curricula across UWB change; courses in this category explicitly study mathematical principles. That emphasis is manifest in their readings, assignments, and evaluation.
- Engineer Your Own Success: 7 Key Elements to Creating An Extraordinary Engineering Career.
- Mathematical Thinking & Visualization.
- Practice Management: A Practical Guide to Starting and Running a Medical Office.
- Monitoring and Managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (HP Technologies).
This criterion does not exclude courses with substantial application, but a student finishing a course in this category should be able to reflect critically on the mathematical principles learned, in a way that aids their thoughtful application elsewhere. Visualization Practice and Methods Courses: Students will choose at least two courses that extend their capacities in visualization and communication.
Visualization practices and methods may include modeling and tools for exploring and examining data sets. It includes interactive presentation through the simultaneous display of multimedia data such as numbers, words, and images, and informal modes of communication, along with polished presentations to specific audiences.
