Strolling down a city street or along a country road can provide a geometrical feast for the eye—when the viewing is done from a mathematical perspective.

“I see geometry in everything,” mathematician Thomas F. Banchoff of Brown University once remarked, as quoted in Keith Devlin’s book Life by the Numbers. “When I walk down the street, I’m always fascinated by some form. I love seeing patterns; I love looking up and looking at windows and ledges and seeing the way different objects fit together, especially if you position yourself in just the right way.”
