Issue date: 
September 2006
This issue is all about movement and beauty. There's a recipe for the perfect free kick, instructions on how to trick gravity, an exploration of the amazingly intricate Mandelbrot set and its pretty cousins, the Julia sets, and a mathematical look at the harmonies of music. And if you're interested in the movements in your bank account, there's an article investigating what makes markets stable.
