About the author

Public information about Liang Jin is limited, and his nationality, dates of birth and death, and academic background cannot be confirmed at present. Judging from the three works held in the library, his writing spans science popularization and architectural culture: Mathematical Modeling addresses the application of mathematical methods and reflects his attention to how mathematical tools are put into practice, while Shihua Shuxue and Who Holds Mathematics Dancing in the Sky: Interpreting the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Architecture link mathematics with poetry and with architecture past and present, attempting to build bridges between abstract mathematical structures and concrete cultural and spatial experience. This choice of subjects shows an author who presents the beauty of mathematics in an accessible yet rigorous way, helping readers understand its usefulness and charm where the humanities and engineering meet. The books suit general readers interested in popular science and architectural culture.
