Design Structures Index (1993)

The index above contains 2000 terms, (reduced from 5000), source: the Design structures reading brick: a compendium of 700 pages of diverse articles and texts in mathematics, visual art, sound composition, and technology. The terms thus function as pointers into a non-traditional take on mathematics. They represent the following topic areas mapped into computer animation/visualisation and computer music composition:

Ratio; Set; Number; Relation & Group; Recursion & Automata; Euclidian Geometry; Vectors; Probability; Calculus; Circular Functions and Spectral Analysis; Iterated Function Systems; Fourier Transforms; Games; Fuzzy Logic; Vector Fields & Calculus; Lyndenmeyer Systems; Genetic Algorithms; Continuos Probability & Non-Deterministic Fractals; Chaos Theory; Deterministic Fractals; Topology.

Words are used to identify the underlying mathematical principles for each topic, and subsequently the non-traditional ways in which these principles are applied.
