Geometry and the Visual Arts

Rating:
Summary: Masterpiece!
Review: Most books about arts and mathematics are written by non-mathematicians and often contain dubious or unclear statements. The late professor Pedoe was not just an outstanding mathematician, but also a great expositor. This book shows the breadth of his scholarship.

It is not as flashy as some of the modern books. If you are looking for pretty pictures, then this is not the book for you. However, if you are looking for mathematically and historically correct info, and you have the persistence to actually read it, you will be rewarded.

Highly recommended for teachers of mathematics!
