Inspirational maths/art books

Computer, Pattern, Chaos and Beauty: Graphics from an Unseen World – Clifford Pickover, 1990
Amazing book. I’ve written so many programs based on ideas from it – biomorphs, strange attractors, Pascal’s triangle variants, dynamical systems of various kinds, Truchet tiles, etc.
Fractals, Chaos, Power Laws – Manfred Schroeder
Similarly, this one is just packed with ideas.
Recreational Mathematics – W. Rouse Ball
The Science of Fractal Images – Barnsley, Devaney, Mandelbrot, Peitgen, Saupe & Voss, 1988
Mandelbrot & Julia set studies & algorithms, binary decomposition, inversion, Barnsley’s IFS, Sierpinski gasket, creating a planet with random faults, strange attractors,
Five Golden Rules, Five More Golden Rules – John L. Casti, 1996
Ron Goldman‘s books on graphics/fractals/curves. This lecture on fractals=splines
Books by John Stillwell
Books by Martin Gardner
Papers by Floyd, Cannon, Parry, Kenyon, Schramm (on squaring, graphs, tesselation, subdivision, the Riemann mapping theorems etc)
Alfred Inselberg – Parallel Coordinates
Books by V.I. Arnol’d
Books and papers by Stefan Felsner (ways of drawing and transforming graphs)
Books by Michael Barnsley
