Reviews

The study of connections between mathematics and the arts has grown considerably in recent decades, influenced by the work of Doris Schattschneider, Jay Kappraff, and Michele Emmer, among others. The use of mathematics is particularly a necessity in architecture, so the present set is welcome. This is a valuable resource for mathematics, architecture, and the arts in general. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. (C. A. Gorini, Choice, Vol. 53 (2), October, 2015) The ambitious goal is to describe both the intimate relation but also the alienation between mathematics and architecture and between mathematicians and architects. It is an important and highly inspiring collection of papers that will be of interest to researchers from as many disciplines as illustrated by the diversity of the background of the authors. Highly recommended for readers who do not want to drown or hide in their own abyss of specialization. (Adhemar Bultheel, euro-math-soc.eu, June, 2015)
