India, June 14 -- Many artists are unaware of the math that bubbles beneath their craft. Acclaimed mathematician Marcus du Sautoy looks to art, music, design and literature to uncover key mathematical structures that underpin both human creativity and the natural world. Blueprints takes the reader from the earliest stone circles to the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier and from Shakespeare's hidden numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness. Instead of polar opposites, we find a complementary relationship. Whether we seek meaning in an abstract painting or aim to decipher poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry, fractals. Nature similarly exploits these structures to achieve the wonders of our universe. In this bold exploration of creativity, Marcus traces how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for the discovery of new mathematics, and how a fundamental connection to the natural world links these subjects intrinsically....
