The Science and Aesthetics of Tie Knots.
Two Cambridge physicists have unravelled the full potential of the twists and turns of the neck tie and liberated men's fashion from the tyranny of limited choice. They discovered that a concept developed to describe the movement of gas molecules also describes the options for tie tying. There are in fact 85 ways to tie a tie.
This is the story of their discovery, of the history of neck ties and some very elegant mathematics in action - the equations that express whether a tie is handsome or not. Style and science are effortlessly combined in this beautifully illustrated little volume.
