Blueprints - How Mathematics Shapes Creativity

Eminent mathematician Marcus du Sautoy examines the connections between nature, numbers and the creative arts, all underpinned by mathematical concepts, which, knowingly or otherwise, have inspired artists, architects, musicians and writers. From ancient stone circles to modern architecture, from Bach to Radiohead and from Shakespeare to Dada, du Sautoy finds art and maths intertwined and cross-pollinating to glorious effect. Would make a wonderful gift for mathematicians and artists alike.
