The Moebius Strip



The Moebius Strip: Dr. August Moebius's Marvelous Band in Mathematics, Games, Literature, Art, Technology and Cosmology
Clifford A. Pickover
ISBN 978-4-8222-8318-6 (Japanese Translation)

The subtitle explains all about the book, I think.
In short, it's a great work of a Moebius mania. :o

What didn't know about Moebius is that he did more works than just the discovery of Moebius's strip. For example, Moebius function is used in number theory and furthermore even elementary particle physics!

BTW, Pickover's books is not for just specialists of scientists. General readers can enjoy various puzzles or graphics based on Moebius' theories. :)
