Enriched with four amazing and elaborate themes, the newly issued Mathematische Moritaten (e.g. Mathematical Ballads) substantiate that some delicate plants of poetry may flourish even in the rigorous garden of mathematics. Welcome to an amusing look at the queen of science, mythology and long-lasting mathematical myths through the lens of comic verses, anagrammatic poems and apocryphal parables. While the majority of the poems are written with the German speaking audience in mind, the collection includes in addition a few translations into English and Romanian.
Groteske Poeme, honette Sonette und mathematische Gedichte als unterhaltsamer Wildwuchs auf dem kargen Boden des Elfenbeinturms? Der für seine formelhaften Ausflüge in die Gefilde der Literatur bekannte Mathematiker Alexander Mehlmann kann sich so manchen eigenartigen Reim darauf machen. Jahrelang im Untergrund der Technischen Universität zu Wien als Geheimtip gehandelt, erblickten seine seltsamen Verse im Jahre des Herrn 1999 das gleißende Licht der Druckerschwärze, um bereits einige Monate später im Zustand der ergriffenen Vergriffenheit zu verharren.
Dieser an sich unhaltbare Umstand konnte der überblickbaren Fangemeinde auf Dauer nicht mehr zugemutet werden. Um vier erstaunliche und vielschichtige Themenkreise bereichert, beweisen die neuaufgelegten Mathematischen(n) Moritaten, dass selbst im strengen Garten der Mathematik die stacheligen Pflanzen der grotesken Lyrik gedeihen können. Im einleitenden Kapitel wird den Galionsfiguren der Mathematikgeschichte Podest und Reim eingeraeumt. In der Folge werden mathematische (und andere) Mythen durch den Kakao apokrypher Parabeln gezogen. Eine Sammlung eigenartiger Anagrammgedichte beschreibt danach die Mysterien der Mathematik, die verborgene Bedeutung politischer Schlagworte, sowie das seltsame Ambiente des Elfenbeinturms. Im vierten Kapitel erweitern Pamphlete und Poeme die vergriffene Auswahl seltsamer Verse. Das letzte Kapitel enthält Übersetzungen mathematischer Gedichte.

About the Author
A now retired associate professor, he ist still lecturing on "Game Theoretic Modeling" and on "Mathematics and Literature", aiming to guide students towards refreshing mathematical thoughts by means of a "tongue-in-cheek" route to the legend of Faust, as well as to some game theoretical facets of Greek mythology. By using apocryphal stories, short and long poems, as well as mathematical arguments, his lectures generate an intriguing look at literature through the lens of mathematics, bringing the mathematics into poetical focus at the same time.
