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 art
  • Accessible to anyone with a reasonable high school level of mathematics
  • Full of challenges and puzzles to engage readers.

Recenzijas

An impressive compendium of challenges and puzzles to engage the reader, Playing with Infinity: Turtles, Patterns, and Pictures is unique, fascinating, informative, and especially recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Mathematics, Number Theory, and Geometry collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.

Paul Vogel, Midwest Book Review

[ This book] could enhance a discrete mathematics course, be used to propel an independent study project, inspire someones mathematical art, or be read by a learner who wants to return to mathematics after some time away.

Hans Zantema was born in 1956 in The Netherlands. He studied mathematics and received his PhD in pure mathematics in 1983. After a few years in industry he returned to university, in computer science. Apart from his position as an associate professor in computer science at Eindhoven University of Technology, from 2007 until his retirement in 2022 he was part time full professor at Radboud University in Nijmegen. His professional interest is mainly in mathematical reasoning, in particular applied to computation and automated reasoning. His hobbies include solving and designing logical puzzles.
