Mathematics and Culture III

This work contains the proceedings of the "Mathematics and Culture" conference held in Venice in March 2002. The conference aims to act as a bridge across the various aspects of human knowledge.

While keeping mathematics as its core, it is aimed at anyone endowed with cultural curiosity and interests, whether within or (even more so) outside mathematics.

This volume therefore covers music, cinema, art, theatre and literature, with topics ranging from Tibet to comics.
