I’m aperiodically working my way through Martin Gardner’s cover images from Scientific American, the so-called Gardner’s Dozen, attempting to recreate these in the LaTeX drawing package TikZ. View the previous attempts.
This time I chose January 1974. The cover image relates to the article ‘The combinatorial basis of the “I Ching,” the Chinese book of divination and wisdom’, reprinted as chapter 20 in the book Knotted Doughnuts and Other Mathematical Entertainments.
