The Nexus Network Journal: Architecture and
Mathematics volume 2 (2000) contains articles
on architecture and mathematics that, like the
Nexus conferences and the Nexus series of books,
are interdisciplinary and multicultural. In addition
to Research Articles, volume 2 of the NNJ
includes The Geometer's Angle by Mark A.
Reynolds, a new Didactics column, Book
Reviews, Conference Reports and The
Virtual Library.
