Genre: Art
ISBN:

Volume 12 of the Math-Art series. This 3-part book is a visual exploration of knot geometry and ethnomathematics to celebrate the similarities between abstract geometry and unique cultures worldwide. Starting at latitude 0º, longitude 0º, the author set sail (virtually) westward at an average of 400 (nautical) knots a week to fully cover its circumference and explore 1 new knot each week for an entire year. Part I is the art portfolio extracted from the geometry models, part II is a detailed record of the original geometry used to create the artwork, and part III is the weekly wind map log showing the project’s positioning, actual winds, and currents in real-time. Each book includes 52 illustrations, notes, and references.

Sangaku are geometrical problems carved on wooden tablets. They were very popular in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1867) but the tradition got all but forgotten until recently as a renewed interest by mathematicians and scholars brought them back to the public attention. This book includes over 60 illustrations inspired by original Sangaku problems and focuses on the aesthetic appeal of this exceptional and unique demonstration of universal geometry principles. The images in this book are available, large format, @ http://bit.ly/JCArtGallery

ISBN:

A 52 illustration two-part book on the exploration of minimal surfaces. Part 1 explores the surface from an artistic perspective, and part 2 visually reproduces the equations that stand in their own right as a beautiful expression of pure geometry. Each book includes notes from an informal work-in-progress diary and references directing the reader to the images’ original mathematical source. Both sides complement each other in helping us appreciate better these unrivaled expressions of our environment found in nature, from butterflies to black holes, and studied in statistics, material sciences, and architecture.
