An Oxford mathematician, playwright, and musician reveals how creative people can harness the profound and productive relationship between mathematics and the artsWhen Shakespeare has the Three Witches cast Macbeth?s lot, he uses something very weird to do it: not simply ?eye of newt and toe of frog,? but the number seven. And when Hamlet claims, ?To be or not to be, that is the question,? Shakespeare reaches for eleven. For Shakespeare, prime numbers were magical. And he is not alone.As Marcus du Sautoy showcases in Blueprints, creativity is inseparable from mathematics. The designs of Le Corbusier and Leonardo; the music of Glass, Bach, and Debussy; the wild visions of Dali, the choreography of Laban, the animation of Pixarall are shot through with mathematics, from primes and fractals to the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and hyperbolic geometry. And Du Sautoy argues that the relationship runs both ways. Just as mathematics inspires new art, the artistic mindset is a necessity for discovering new mathematics.Blueprints will expand your mind, but more importantly, it shows how to ignite your imagination. Anyone who wants to create needs this book.

I bought 'How Mathematics Shapes Creativity' by Blueprints for my daughter who's into art and math. The way it connects these two worlds is just brilliant! She can't stop talking about it and has started seeing patterns everywhere.

Interesting concept but a bit dry
The book offers some fascinating insights on how math influences creativity, but I found some sections a bit hard to get through. It might not hold everyone's attention, especially if you're not into technical stuff.

Good ideas but delivery took forever
I enjoyed the book's concepts but had to wait almost two weeks for it to arrive. Once I got it, I was really intrigued by how math can influence creativity. Just wish the shipping was quicker!

Not what I expected
I thought this book would be a more hands-on guide but it reads more like a textbook. The illustrations are nice, though. Just wish it had a few more practical examples of creativity in action.
