Patterns of the Universe: A Coloring Adventure in Math and Beauty(Japanese)

A coloring book of designs taken from mathematics, by Alex Bellos and Edmund Harriss. This is the Japanese edition, translated by Jin Akiyama. The first chapter is for coloring. Its patterns include a Sri Yantra mandala, Voronoi diagrams, fractals such as the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set, and periodic tilings of birds, fish and rabbits. There are also Penrose tiles, knots, mechanical curves, polyhedra, sunflower and nautilus spirals, the golden rectangle, space-filling curves and a Venn diagram. In the second chapter you make the pictures yourself by following simple rules. The themes are randomness with coins, dice and the digits of pi, Latin squares, cellular automata, hyperbolas, the Ulam spiral of prime numbers and the dragon curve. The book ends with a supplement by the translator.

Translated from the Japanese original.
