Nothing Short of Psychedelic

Fast Company takes a look at the book the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications has published in celebration of its 50th birthday and concludes that there is in fact visual magic to be found in mathematics.

50 Visions of Mathematics contains 50 essays on a range of mathematical topics, each essay accompanied by a "vision of mathematics." An assortment of the images—everything from what Fast Company's Jennifer Miller calls "an amoeba-like map of Cambridge public transport" to "a magnified, elephantine Mandelbrot set"—is viewable in an online gallery.
