Strickland, From Algebra to the Secrets of the Universe: the Fascinating Life of Mary Somerville.Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. Imagine building mathematical models that make it possible to manage our world better, imagine combining music, art, poetry, literature, architecture and cinema with mathematics. Imagine the unpredictable and sometimes counterintuitive applications of mathematics in all areas of human endeavour. Imagination and mathematics, imagination and culture, culture and mathematics. This sixth volume in the series begins with a homage to the architect Zaha Hadid, who died on March 31st, 2016, a few weeks before the opening of a large exhibition of her works in Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, where all the Mathematics and Culture conferences have taken place in the last years. A large section of the book is dedicated to literature, narrative and mathematics including a contribution from Simon Singh. It discusses the role of media in mathematics, including museums of science, journals and movies. Mathematics and applications, including blood circulation and preventing crimes using earthquakes, is also addressed, while a section on mathematics and art examines the role of math in design. A large selection presents photos of mathematicians and mathematical objects by Vincent Moncorge. Discussing all topics in a way that is rigorous but captivating, detailed but full of evocations, it offers an all-embracing look at the world of mathematics and culture.Applied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsArchitectsDesignComputer graphicsHumanitiesApplications of Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003Architectshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K11001Design, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K19000Computer Graphicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22013Popular Science in Humanities / Artshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q33000Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Architects.Design.Computer graphics.Humanities.Applications of Mathematics.Architects.Design, general.Computer Graphics.Popular Science in Humanities / Arts.510.19Emmer Micheleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAbate Marcoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300107903321Imagine Math 61564771UNINA
