What is The Girl With a Pearl Earring, the Nautilus Curve, Spiral Galaxies, and Other Beautiful Things (The New Mathematics for the Millions Book 24) about?

When most people think about mathematicians, they imagine solitary souls, alone in a well-lit, quiet and well-ordered room, toiling to understand the secrets of numbers and the like, with merely paper and pencil at hand. Perhaps there might be a black board covered with equations, or a white board. Perhaps in their mind’s eye they imagine the iconic image of someone like Albert Einstein or Paul Erdös, with a pad of paper on their lap and a contemplative expression of their face? Much of mathematics in fact involves real world measurements. For instance, at the end of the day, Einstein’s work was based on or led to astrophysical measurements. He was a practical man although we don’t see him as that (he in fact held some rather interesting patents – I challenge you to find out which patent he held was of particular interest to the US Navy). You would probably not think of what the likes of Einstein and Erdös were doing were in the way of mathematics as something experimental. But Experimental Mathematics is something that is done more and more often by mathematicians. It is a mathematics based as much on experience and direct measurement, as on abstract thought.
