According to Stephen Skinner, the study of sacred geometry has its roots in the study of nature, and the mathematical principles at work therein. [5] Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry; for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape.
Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit. The circle is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern machinery possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry, astronomy and calculus.

Sacred Mathematics: Japanese Temple Geometry is a book on Sangaku, geometry problems presented on wooden tablets as temple offerings in the Edo period of Japan. It was written by Fukagawa Hidetoshi and Tony Rothman , and published in 2008 by the Princeton University Press .
[1] [3] Reviewer Patrick Popescu-Pampu claims that even though it is a graduate-level book series, undergraduates with a sufficient background in algebraic geometry should be able to access it. [3] Reviewer Felipe Zaldivar writes that it "makes the subject accessible and enjoyable" and makes "a beautiful addition" to its book series. [ 1 ]
