Marcus du Sautoy Explores Math as Creative Blueprint in New Book
Marcus du Sautoy's 'La matematica della creatività. Come i numeri danno forma al mondo' is now available in Italy, published by Bollati Boringhieri. Translated by Gianna Cernuschi and Andrea Migliori, the book examines mathematical structures underpinning creativity in art and nature. Du Sautoy, a mathematician and Oxford professor of Public Understanding of Science, argues that mathematical models serve as 'cianographic drafts' inspiring artistic creation. The nine-chapter volume (plus preface and finale) positions Nature as the third vertex of a triangle alongside Mathematics and Art.
