For curious minds throughout history, math was truly an art. In Visions of the Universe, you can pick up right where Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, and other luminaries left off--by coloring 58 exquisite patterns inspired by great discoveries in math:

  • Intricate geometric designs like those that grace the mosques of Mecca
  • Felix Klein's astounding diagram--drawn in 1897--of light reflecting between five mirrored spheres
  • A mind-bending puzzle so beautiful it once hung outside a Japanese temple, and more!

Plus, in the Creating chapter, you'll help complete 10 additional images by following simple steps that give spectacular results. No math knowledge is required: Anyone can be an artist in Numberland!
