Blueprints by Marcus Du Sautoy

*A Financial Times and Waterstones Book of the Year 2025* Many artists are unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common, but what if were wrong?

Praise for Marcus du Sautoy:

'Brilliantly clear and captivating prose' Stephen Fry

‘Du Sautoy is […] the light-bearer, illuminating not only the work of coders and creators, but the mathematics of chaos that underpin art and our emotional responses to it’ Hans Ulrich Obrist

'He brings hugely enjoyable writing, full of zest and passion, to the most fundamental questions in the pursuit of true knowledge' Sunday Times

'A brilliant storyteller' Independent

'Du Sautoy is a contagious enthusiast, a populist with a staunch faith in the public's intelligence' Observer

‘Marcus makes it seem so easy, and such fun, to begin to understand that which appears complex, frightening and beautiful, and the magic of being human’ Philippe Sands

Marcus du Sautoy is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and a fellow of the Royal Society. In 2008 he was appointed to the university’s prestigious professorship as the Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science, a post previously held by Richard Dawkins. He has presented numerous radio and TV programmes, including a four-part landmark TV series for the BBC called The Story of Maths.
