"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth,
but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere,
without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music."
—Bertrand Russell

The Beauty of Mathematics uses a triptych format to reveal how complex equations are constantly in play all around us. On the left is a mathematical equation, in the middle is an illustrated mathematical model and on the right is its application via an everyday object or occurrence (a spinning top, a lamp, a compass, etc.).
