Features 82  Science Editor  May – June 2005  Vol 28  No 3 Claudia Clark “Secret societies.” These words may call to mind two recent bestsellers, The DaVinci Code1 and Angels and Demons.2 These books tell the stories of ancient societies, shrouded in mystery, that used mathemat- ics to protect themselves and their beliefs.
