Article number 10223673

Stephen Skinner explores the idea that recurring geometrical patterns connect mathematics with nature, architecture, astronomy, religion and art.

Examples include Stonehenge, crystals, spirals, the Golden Ratio, Pythagorean ideas and geometric structures used in temples and paintings.
