We discuss a number of the mathematical ideas behind Dynamic Symmetry, an approach to design championed by Jay Hambidge and popular in the 1920s and 1930s. We discuss Hambidge's interest in the geometry of root rectangles and the golden ratio, and how Dynamic Symmetry influenced a generation of artists and art and mathematics educators.
