A chapter in Imagine Math 3, 2015, pp 43-68 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The hall of the 1986 Venice Biennale dedicated to Art and Science opened with works by Lucio Saffaro (the artist whose works are featured on all the covers of books in the Imagine Math book series), along with Felice Ragazzo’s reconstruction of Kepler’s model of how the universe works, when Kepler still believed that the orbits of the planets were circular and circumscribed by the regular solids first described by Plato [27, 5, 28, 6, 8, 9].
