Add to basketQuesto volume è dedicato all’artista Armando Pizzinato. E si parla di arte; oltre che di Pizzinato, di Pollock, grazie alla collaborazione della Guggenheim Collection di Venezia. E si parla di architettura, dalla topologia ai progetti di Ghery e di Renzo Piano. E di modelli matematici per la lotta contro il cancro, contro l’AIDS. Di come la matematica può aiutare a prevenire e intervenire. E si parla di matematica della guerra e di come la matematica possa aiutare a proteggere l’ambiente. Nel gennaio 2005, scrivendo queste parole, diventa di grande e drammatica attualità l’utilizzo dei modelli matematici per la meteorologia. Prevedere per salvare. Non poteva mancare Venezia. Il vetro, le murrine, grazie alla fantastica collezione di Giovanni Sarpellon. E di quarta dimensione, di rendere visibile l’invisibile. E alla fine, un poco di magia, grazie a Bustric. E di tante altre cose, non dimenticando l’omaggio ed il ricordo a un grande matematico: H.S.M. ‘Donald’ Coxeter.
