Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Was it necessary for a 17th century painter to know principles of optics to hide a skull in one of his masterpieces? Is it possible the violent deaths of Roman emperors obey a statistical law? Are there connections between market trends and geometry? How did Islamic artists draw almost perfectly regular nine-sided polygons, when these cannot be traced with the use of compasses? Dirk Huylebrouk asks these and other exciting questions in this collection of essays, originally written for the science magazine EOS, a Dutch equivalent of Scientific American, distributed in Belgium and in The Netherlands. Every chapter can be read independently, as some subjects are repeated, and not strictly interconnected. Such is the case for instance of the golden section, an often-recurring topic in general mathematics. The reader will appreciate the original point of view expressed through each chapter, which makes this book stand out against the general information one can find by browsing the generalmedia. The subtly provocative character of some parts is meant to stimulate the reader for further exploration. The book's title itself may already generate surprise. Sure, to many, mathematics seems to come from hell, but the darkness in the title in fact refers to the lugubrious stories about math and skulls, murders or World War II. There is also a more down-to-earth part about math and maps, money, Facebook, folding paper, shapes in ice and the most earthly yet unsolved math problems. Bright mathematics alludes to Vedic, Islam, New Age, a meta-divine section, and is concluded by an interview with a top mathematician who also wrote about the existence of God. Sure, to many, mathematics seems to come from hell, but the darkness in the title in fact refers to the lugubrious stories about math and skulls, murders or World War II. There is also a more down-to-earth part about math and maps, money, Facebook, folding paper, shapes in ice and the most earthly yet unsolved math problems.

Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. # Broché # Parution : Novembre 2019 # Résumé : Les sources des mathématiques se trouvent-t-elles aux sources du Nil ? A Ishango, un village dans la région volcanique sur la frontière entre le Congo et l'Ouganda, un os âgé de 22.000 ans fût trouvé, avec des rainures intriguant les mathématiciens. L'auteur défend la nouvelle hypothèse du candidat astronaute bruxellois Pletser : que cet os n'est pas un calendrier lunaire; qu'il ne constitue pas plus un jeu arithmétique avec des nombres premiers mais est un simple bâton à compter, d'un peuple qui comptait d'une façon non-occidentale. L'arithmétique alternative, ce n'est pas si étrange : les mathématiques "black" sont déjà d'usage depuis longtemps aux Etats-Unis. En Belgique, les mathématiques multiculturelles sont plutôt méconnues, malgré les liens historiques avec le Congo. Toutefois, l'Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique (IRSNB) et le Musée royal d'Afrique centrale (MRAC) de Tervuren possèdent des collections particulières, et une visite mathématique s'y impose. En plus, le domaine a des implications actuelles, comme dans les frac-tales très africaines ou le jeu bantumi, tandis que les ingénieurs et les informaticiens ont du pain sur la planche, quand ils voient les multiplications yorubas et éthiopiennes. Ces ethnomathématiques peuvent non seulement plaire aux mathématiciens, mais aussi aux esprits rêveurs, qui méditent sur le devenir des sciences et de l'humanité, comme dans 2001, Odyssée de l'Espace.
