Description

There is beauty and mystery in numbers. They are part of our daily life, they are concrete instruments of measurement (and of power, in all its forms) but also of refined philosophical speculations. Claudio Bartocci and Luigi Civalleri take us on a journey that combines wonder and curiosity, scientific knowledge and new aesthetic sensibilities, to discover one of the greatest human cultural representations. The great mathematicians of the past and the surprising properties of numbers; paradoxes, conjectures and enigmas, and calculating machines, from the Roman abacus to the Summa Prima Olivetti. It is also a journey in images which explores, chapter by chapter, the fascinating dialogue between mathematics and art.
