This series of lectures from renowned mathematicians demonstrates the prominent role of mathematics in our daily life, through science, technology and culture. The common theme throughout is mathematics’ unique position as both the art of pure thought and universally applicable science. The book also includes a leisurely treatment of recent hot topics, including the solution of the Poincaré conjecture.
