This volume of the Mathematics and Culture series is dedicated to
Italian artist Armando Pizzicato. The work of Pollock is also
discussed, thanks to the collaboration of the Venice Guggenheim
Collection. Mathematics creates beauty in architecture, from
topology to the projects of Gehry and Piano to the muqarnas of
Islam. But mathematics can also save lives. Mathematical models can
help fight cancer and AIDS, and intervene in their cure.
Mathematics can also be used to protect the environment. In the
wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the discussion
of the use of mathematical models in meteorology and the prediction
of storms is particularly timely. This volume wouldn't be complete
without Venice and its glass, the fantastic collection of murrine
of Giovanni Sarpellon. There is even a bit of magic, thanks to
Bustric. And finally, an homage to a great mathematician: H.S.M.
Donald Coxeter.
