This collection of essays unmasks the numbers hidden in nature and the formulas lurking in everyday life. It demonstrates connections between Amish quilts and n-dimensional cubes, and explains how the Hebrew alphabet, invented by mystics, can be derived using mathematics' modern knot theory. The author links fact and folklore, myth and mathematics, and argues that the design of the universe can often be expressed in formulas, which repeat themselves endlessly and unexpectedly.
