From the reviews: The many diverse texts that make up this book, link mathematics to history, different kinds of art (music, literature, architecture, film,...), science, medicine, economics etc. ... it is easily accessible for anyone having a general interested in mathematics and the interaction with many other aspects of science, society, and knowledge which are not the obvious engineering applications. (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, May, 2012)
