Opis

Shorter and more light-hearted than his theoretical academic works, Mathematics is the Poetry of Science represents Villani's attempt to communicate his love of mathematics to a wider audience, and is an interesting contribution from one of the world's finest living mathematicians.

Recenzje

A remarkable exploration of creativity and aesthetic sensitivity in mathematics, and I would wholly recommend it to anyone who wants to appreciate why it will continue to inspire and fascinate all of its devotees.
