How Mathematics Shapes Creativity
Book •
Marcus du Sautoy's "Blueprints" explores the surprising connections between mathematics and creativity across various art forms.
The book delves into mathematical structures found in music, art, architecture, and literature, demonstrating how these structures underpin both natural phenomena and human creativity.
Du Sautoy argues that creativity often arises from constraints and structures, and that mathematics provides a framework for understanding and generating creative works.
The book also examines the role of randomness and chance in art and science, highlighting the interplay between order and chaos.
Ultimately, "Blueprints" reveals the profound and often overlooked influence of mathematics on the creative process.
