This volulme features eight original papers dedicated to the theme
"Persian Architecture and Mathematics," guest edited by Reza Sarhangi.
All papers were approved through a rigorous process of blind peer review
and edited by an interdisciplinary scientific editorial committee.
Topics range from symmetry in ancient Persian architecture to the
elaborate geometric patterns and complex three-dimensional structures of
standing monuments of historical periods, from the expression of
mathematical ideas to architectonic structures, and from decorative
ornament to the representation of modern group theory and
quasi-crystalline patterns. The articles discuss unique monuments
Persia, including domed structures and two-dimensional patterns, which
have received significant scholarly attention in recent years. This book
is a unique contribution to studies of Persian architecture in relation
to mathematics.
