The year's finest mathematical writing from around the world This
annual anthology brings together the year's finest mathematics
writing from around the world. Featuring promising new voices
alongside some of the foremost names in the field, The Best Writing
on Mathematics 2019 makes available to a wide audience many
articles not easily found anywhere else-and you don't need to be a
mathematician to enjoy them. These essays delve into the history,
philosophy, teaching, and everyday aspects of math, offering
surprising insights into its nature, meaning, and practice-and
taking readers behind the scenes of today's hottest mathematical
debates. In this volume, Moon Duchin explains how
geometric-statistical methods can be used to combat gerrymandering,
Jeremy Avigad illustrates the growing use of computation in making
and verifying mathematical hypotheses, and Kokichi Sugihara
describes how to construct geometrical objects with unusual visual
properties. In other essays, Neil Sloane presents some recent
additions to the vast database of integer sequences he has
catalogued, and Alessandro Di Bucchianico and his colleagues
highlight how mathematical methods have been successfully applied
to big-data problems. And there's much, much more. In addition to
presenting the year's most memorable math writing, this must-have
anthology includes an introduction by the editor and a bibliography
of other notable writings on mathematics. This is a must-read for
anyone interested in where math has taken us-and where it is
headed.
