Part I presents an overview of Islamic history, its extraordinary spread from the Atlantic to the borders of China in its first century, its adoption of the cultural outlook of the older civilisations that it conquered (in the Middle East, Persia and Central Asia), including their philosophical and scientific achievements - from which it came to express its own unique and highly distinctive artistic and architectural forms. Part II represents the mathematical analysis of Islamic geometric designs. The presentation offers unlimited precision that allows software to reconstruct the design vision of the original artist. This book will be of interest to Islamic academics, mathematicians as well as to artists & art students.Mathematics and the Built Environment,2512-157X ;2GeometryCivilization—HistoryGeometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Geometry.Civilization—History.Geometry.Cultural History.516Wichmann Brian Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut544656Wade David1941-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910279754503321Islamic Design: A Mathematical Approach4404845UNINA
