Reviews
Honorable Mention for the 2016 PROSE Award in Mathematics, Association of American Publishers "[A] beautifully illustrated guide to fusing mathematical and artistic creativity to generate fascinating and visually appealing designs."--Evelyn Lamb, Scientific American "[A] beautiful book... [Creating Symmetry] is a thoughtful, innovative and interesting piece of work, discussing material that the author is obviously very enthusiastic about; such enthusiasm is, as is often the case, contagious."--Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews "This is a marvelous book that brings groups, and along the way many other mathematical concepts, to the reader in an unconventional way."--Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society Bulletin "Mathematics students thus get a visually rich path into group theory that compellingly informs even first steps with ideas usually deemed advanced. Braver art students will find motivation and the means to learn some mathematics they can put right to use."--D. V. Feldman, Choice "[A] delightful showcase of artistic applications of complex wave functions... This attractive book will appeal to and inspire a broad range of practitioners including complex analysts, mathematical artists, and advanced undergraduates."--Heidi Burgiel, College Mathematics Journal
