Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine
new worlds, new geometries, new forms. The new volume in the series
"Imagine Math" is intended to contribute to grasping how much that
is interesting and new is happening in the relationships between
mathematics, imagination and culture. 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 "Arithmetique " 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.
