The Zen of Magic Squares, Circles, and Stars: An Exhibition of Surprising Structures across Dimensions
Clifford A. Pickover
Humanity's love affair with mathematics and mysticism reached a critical juncture, legend has it, on the back of a turtle in ancient China. This book explains why Chinese emperors, Babylonian astrologer-priests, prehistoric cave people in France, and ancient Mayans of the Yucatan were convinced that magic squares held the secret of the universe.
