Paperback. Condition: New. 2011 ed. Steps forward in mathematics often reverberate in other scientific disciplines, and give rise to innovative conceptual developments or find surprising technological applications. This volume brings to the forefront some of the proponents of the mathematics of the twentieth century, who have put at our disposal new and powerful instruments for investigating the reality around us. The portraits present people who have impressive charisma and wide-ranging cultural interests, who are passionate about defending the importance of their own research, are sensitive to beauty, and attentive to the social and political problems of their times. What we have sought to document is mathematics' central position in the culture of our day. Space has been made not only for the great mathematicians but also for literary texts, including contributions by two apparent interlopers, Robert Musil and Raymond Queneau, for whom mathematical concepts represented a valuable tool for resolving the struggle between 'soul and precision.'.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 20 anni fa - anzi qualcuno in più - iniziava le sue pubblicazioni "Lettera Matematica PRISTEM", espressione di un gruppo di ricerca della "Bocconi" cui aderiscono anche docenti e studiosi di altre Università. La "Lettera" ha rappresentato un tentativo coraggioso di svecchiare la comunicazione matematica, di renderla meno accademica e più giornalistica con l'uso delle immagini, del colore e di un linguaggio diretto. Un tentativo di inserire la Matematica nei più ampi processi che riguardano la scuola e la società.In questo libro, i tre direttori della rivista sfogliano le sue annate per ricordare storie e personaggi (matematici e non) attorno a cui la "Lettera" è cresciuta e che di fatto hanno contribuito alla formazione della sua linea editoriale.Le testimonianze, i ricordi e i commenti sono seguiti anno per anno da un articolo comparso quell'anno sulla "Lettera". Ne esce una descrizione del mondo matematico, visto dall'interno, molto più vivace di quanto solitamente si pensa che sia. Altro che semplice calcolo! La Matematica va avanti e la "Lettera" racconta in quali direzioni. Talora procede con appassionate discussioni e qualche polemica che accompagna la ricerca o l'insegnamento o la gestione delle istituzioni scientifiche: anche di queste, in 20 anni, la "Lettera" ha cercato di dare puntualmente conto.…
