商品描述

A revolutionary notebook that challenges us to play outside (and with) the lines.

A standard notebook displays page after page of horizontal lines. But what if we break the pattern? What if the ruled pages grew unruly? In this Nonstandard Notebook, lines twist, fragment, curve, and crisscross in beautiful formations. Each sheet is a distinctive work of imagination, asking us to draw, doodle, and journal in the same spirit.

Page after page, as we journey from lines to parabolas to waves, deep questions arise--about form, art, and mathematics. How do we harness the infinite? Why do patterns permeate nature? What are the limitations and possibilities of human vision? Nonstandard Notebook explores these questions and more through its provocative and inspirational images, each displayed with the mathematics that generated it. We see how straight lines can form fractal crenelations, how circles can disrupt and unify, and how waves and scaling can form complex landscapes (or even famous faces). Created by mathematicians, educators, and math popularizers Tim Chartier and Amy Langville, and with a foreword from Ben Orlin (bestselling author of Math with Bad Drawings), Nonstandard Notebook shows that rules--both the rules of mathematics and the rules of a notebook--do not mark the end of creativity, but the beginning.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一個挑戰我們在邊界外（以及與邊界）遊玩的革命性筆記本。

一個標準的筆記本顯示著一頁又一頁的橫線。但如果我們打破這個模式呢？如果這些有規則的頁面變得不受控制呢？在這本 非標準筆記本 中，線條扭曲、碎裂、彎曲，並以美麗的形式交錯。每一頁都是一個獨特的想像作品，邀請我們以同樣的精神來繪畫、塗鴉和寫日記。

一頁又一頁，當我們從線條走向拋物線再到波浪時，深刻的問題隨之而來——關於形式、藝術和數學。我們如何駕馭無限？為什麼模式滲透自然？人類視覺的限制和可能性是什麼？非標準筆記本 通過其挑釁性和啟發性的圖像探索這些問題，並展示了生成這些圖像的數學。我們看到直線如何形成分形的城垛，圓形如何破壞並統一，以及波浪和縮放如何形成複雜的景觀（甚至著名的面孔）。這本書由數學家、教育工作者和數學普及者 Tim Chartier 和 Amy Langville 創作，並由暢銷書作者 Ben Orlin（數學與糟糕的畫作）撰寫前言，非標準筆記本 展示了規則——無論是數學的規則還是筆記本的規則——並不標誌著創造力的結束，而是開始。
