The present book begins with the connections between mathematics, numbers, poetry and music, with the latest opera by Italian composer Claudio Ambrosini. Literature and narrative also play an important role here. There is cinema too, with the ?erotic? mathematics films by Edward Frenkel, and the new short ?Arithmétique ? by  Munari and Rovazzani. The section on applications of mathematics features a study of ants, as well as the refined forms and surfaces generated by algorithms used in the performances by Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne. Last but not least, in honour of the hundredth anniversary of his birth, a mathematical, literary and theatrical homage to Alan Turing, one of the outstanding figures of the twentieth century. 606 $aMathematics$xSocial aspects 606 $aMathematics and literature 606 $aMathematics in art 615 0$aMathematics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMathematics and literature. 615 0$aMathematics in art. 676 $a510 702 $aEmmer$b Michele 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437864703321 996 $aImagine Math 2$92540525 997 $aUNINA
