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 solving great problems, imagine new problems never
before thought of, imagine combining music, art, poetry,
literature, architecture, theatre and cinema with mathematics.
Imagine the unpredictable and sometimes counterintuitive
applications of mathematics in all areas of human endeavour. This
seventh volume starts with a homage to the Italian artist Mimmo
Paladino who created exclusively for the Venice Conference 2019 ten
original and unique works of art paper dedicated to the themes of
the meeting. A large section is dedicated to the most recent Fields
Medals including a Homage to Maryam Mirzakhani including a
presentation of the exhibition on soap bubbles in art and science
that took place in 2019. A section is dedicated to cinema and
theatre including the performances by Claire Bardainne & Adrien
Mondot. A part of the conference focused on the community of
mathematicians, their role in literature and even in politics with
the extraordinary example of Antanas Mockus Major of Bogota.
Mathematics in the constructions of bridges, in particular in Italy
in the Sixties was presented by Tullia Iori. A very particular
contribution on Origami by a mathematician, Marco Abate and an
artist, Alessandro Beber. And many other topics. As usual the
topics are treated in a way that is rigorous but captivating,
detailed and full of evocations. This is an all-embracing look at
the world of mathematics and culture. The world, life, culture,
everything has changed in a few weeks with the Coronavirus.
Culture, science are the main ways to safeguard people's physical
and social life. Trust in humanity's creativity and ability. The
motto today in Italy is Everything will be fine.This work is
addressed to all those who have an interest in Mathematics.
