Mathematics behind design

Jay Kappraff’s book connects mathematical principles with design, pairing background on the underlying ideas with topics that can be adapted into design work. Its chapter-by-chapter approach also frames the material for an interdisciplinary study of the mathematics of design, while connecting the subject to recreational mathematics. The emphasis is on the relationship between mathematical concepts and designed forms, making the book a bridge between explanatory material and practical inspiration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Designers seeking mathematical ideas to incorporate into their work
  • Students in interdisciplinary courses on mathematics and design
  • Readers interested in recreational mathematics and its connection to design
