This is a book about infinity ― specifically the infinity of numbers and sequences. Amazing properties arise, for instance, some kinds of infinity are argued to be greater than others. Along the way the author will demonstrate how infinity can be made to create beautiful ‘art’, guided by the development of underlying mathematics. This book will provide a fascinating read for anyone interested in number theory, infinity, math art, and/or generative art, and could be used a valuable supplement to any course on these topics.Features:Beautiful examples of generative artAccessible to anyone with a reasonable high school level of mathematicsFull of challenges and puzzles to engage readers.About the AuthorHans Zantema was born in 1956 in The Netherlands.
