 beautiful, uniqe designs March 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The designs in this book on the delicate side of geometric design. Some geometry design books can be a bit more pop culture oriented, but this one is not. its focuses far more on the line design and the shapes that pop up between them instead of using a lot of black vs. white optical effects. I use/enjoy this book often.
 Interesting examples of mathematical art. March 19, 2006

The author used a Fortran program to draw a set of lattice patterns that fall into seventeen categories. Each category corresponds to one of the seventeen two-dimensional space groups. The full-page design is created by first constructing a tile. An elementary set of line segments and arcs is taken and then manipulated using a space group. After a tile is created, it is repeated to fill the page.
There are forty-four different designs on these pages and some are quite striking. As someone who has read books on mathematical art across cultures, I recognized some of the patterns. Not exactly, but to a high degree of accuracy. These designs are well worth looking at if you are interested in finding patterns for artwork, quilts or any other visual effect.
