- Summary
- COI synopsis: For engineer/mathematician Denys Fisher, complex patterns have always offered immense fascination. And for years he has poured his ingenuity into devising methods of reproducing these patterns mechanically. His latest scheme was inspired by record discs. Pushing a pointer round the groove on a plastic disc, even a child can now re-create beauiful flowing designs based on mathematical patterns.
