"Bahman Kalantari has created a beautiful new genre of mathematical visual art, that is quite distinct from Fractal Art, and is just as beautiful. Not only is the art beautiful, but the mathematics and the elegant algorithms that generate it. This book can be read on quite a few levels, all very rewarding, and will inspire lots of future research and new gorgeous art."

"Polynomiography is a fascinating meeting of polynomials, iterative systems, and artistry - a great way to explore the marriage of visual and intellectual beauty."
