PRE-ORDER Allison's new book with artist Esther Loopstra
Think Like an Artist,
Create Like a Mathematician
Harness Logic and Intuition to Find Your Flow and Step into Who You Are Becoming
"A deeply human exploration of how we grow, think, create, and find our path through life. Rather than offering formulas for success, it beckons us to attend to who we're becoming. By the end, the authors feel like our friends, and we leave knowing something new about math, about art, and about ourselves." —Francis Su, author of Mathematics for Human Flourishing
"Math and art inherently involve change. Math takes unsolved problems and makes progress toward solutions. In art, an empty canvas becomes filled; a hunk of metal or clay takes form. What about you and me? What about the unsolved questions in our lives—or even within ourselves? What about the empty spaces and unformed parts of our being? This book explores how thinking like an artist and creating like a mathematician can offer insight into life's questions and help shape who we become today and into tomorrow." — Tim Chartier, author of Nonstandard Notebook: Mathematically Ruled Pages for Unruly Thoughts
