Klappentext zu „Mathematics, Art, Technology, and Cinema “
This book is about mathematics. But also about art, technology and images. And above all, about cinema, which in the past years, together with theater, has discovered mathematics and mathematicians. It was conceived as a contribution to the World Mathematical Year 2000. The authors argue that the discussion about the differences between the so called two cultures of science and humanism is a thing of the past. They hold that both cultures are truly linked through ideas and creativity, not only through technology. In doing so, they succeed in reaching out to non-mathematicians, and those who are not particularly fond of mathematics. An insightful book for mathematicians, film lovers, those who feel passionate about images, and those with a questioning mind.

Rezension zu „Mathematics, Art, Technology, and Cinema “
From the reviews of the Italian edition: "Michele Emmer from the University of Rome 'La Sapienza', this time assisted by Mirella Manaresi from Bologna, has again organized a collection of extremely inspired (and inspiring!) articles for the Springer series "Mathematics and Culture''. [...] Again, the outcome is a book containing various essays on the interconnections between mathematics, philosophy, technology, and fine arts, now with a particular emphasis on the presentation of mathematical themes at cinema. [...] Also this time the editors have made an excellent job (the reader is strongly recommended to read also the Preface by Michele Emmer!), and one cannot help congratulating the authors and Springer Italia for this marvellous new volume in the series "Matematica e cultura''. The non-Italian mathematical community could really envy the Italians this extraordinary series. Jürgen Appell, Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete.
