Reviews

From the reviews: Volume contains the proceedings of the eponymous conference Mathematics and Culture in Europe held in Bologna ... . content of the DVD is elegantly presented and easy to navigate, and it works both for PCs and Macs, which is a big plus. ... having collected in a single volume descriptions, explanations, and references ... on several recent and not-so-recent movies and plays about mathematics and mathematicians is definitely helpful, and would justify buying this book to anybody interested in the relationships between mathematics and art. (Marco Abate, The Mathematical Intelligencer, Vol. 31 (4), December, 2009)
