Preface
In this Mathematical imagery book, the author clearly displays a very interesting idea on the ubiquity of Mathematics, Mathematics learning and doing Mathematics. The book contains painstakingly crafted images which look like beautiful natural phenomena that we see in the outside world and yet all of them are generated by Mathematical formulas. The author therefore concludes that all things we see in nature have Mathematical expressions that describe them. The book is therefore a visual eye opener for those who need to appreciate, learn, do and see a different and artistic side of Mathematics. It can also be seen as a precursor for a desire of abstract learning of Mathematics by first viewing what Mathematics can do with out looking at a single algebraic expression that most people do not want to deal with and make them stay away from the realm of Mathematics. Few of the images are posted in the Imagery section of the American Mathematical Society's web site. The book is suitable almost for all people including parents, students, teachers, artists, engineers, scientists and others. As a book of an art for your coffee table or your shelf or as a visual Mathematics and its implications in a wider perspective about our universe.

About the Author
Dr. Dejenie Alemayehu Lakew is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at
He is a strong advocate of Mathematics and Mathematics learning for the human society: a Mathematized society is much better off in every thing than otherwise. Besides the benefits of Mathematics, he believes that Mathematics is also extremely beautiful, it is an argument that we make on validating truth and therefore should be liked and practiced by man who likes such a thing. His motto in this regard is “Mathematics has to be studied not only because it is useful but because it is also beautiful as it is a study of structures “.
