Written by a scholar recognized for important and diverse
contributions to mathematical physics, geometry and number theory,
this book is a erudite and brilliantly original exploration of
parallel developments in (mostly modern) art, mathematics, and
physics through the study of topics such as the still-life genre,
physical and artistic visions of nothingness, the mathematical
concept of space, the geometry of prime numbers, particle physics
and cosmology, and artistic and mathematical encounters with
randomness. A final chapter shows how the language of art,
especially surrealist and dadaist art, can help raise awareness and
stimulate debate around some darker aspects of the mathematical
profession and some of the psychological difficulties associated to
the work of mathematical research. While the intended audience does
not necessarily consist of readers with a scientific background,
the book will be organized in such a way that it can be read at two
different levels, with some chapters that require no prior
knowledge of mathematics, and some others that explore more
advanced material. All key mathematical notions will be introduced
and explained.
