Description
Linear optimization is a powerful tool for finding the best solution to complex problems. In Opt Art, Robert Bosch explores its applications in creating stunning works of art. This book takes readers on an entertaining tour of linear optimization, showing how it can be used to design visual art. Bosch presents classical applications of optimization and demonstrates how to adapt them to create artistic pieces using various techniques such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and computer-controlled machining. The book features over a hundred illustrations and photos of Bosch's own art, making it an engaging read for those interested in the intersection of mathematics and visual design. To follow along with the book, readers only need basic algebra, geometry, and calculus. With its unique blend of mathematical modeling and artistic expression, Opt Art is an interesting choice for anyone looking to explore the creative potential of linear optimization.
