I think this book is trying to relate mathematics to human experience and possibly philosophy. This may be the only book I ever read that actually made me mad at the author. I don't use much beyond the pythagorean theorem on regular basis, but it was pretty clear to me that Huntley was setting up only those example which fit his ideals. I found myself increasingly annoyed when he kept feigning amazement at finding the golden ratio in his carefully picked examples. I like math. I like understanding how things work. I regularly find occurrences of repeating patterns and forms in a variety of places in art, nature and science. I hated this book. Also, favorite quote so far, page 15, about the subconscious: "The dipstick of introspection cannot plumb this layer of the psyche." Uh, yeah. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Engaging introduction to that curious feature of mathematics which provides framework for so many structures in biology, chemistry, and the arts. Discussion ranges from theories of biological growth to intervals and tones in music, Pythagorean numerology, conic sections, Pascal's triangle, the Fibonnacci series and much more.
