Bolts from the Blue

Art, Mathematics, and Cultural Evolution
Langbeschreibung
We have discovered a pattern for cultural bifurcations involving artists making significant contributions to the history of mathematics.How much of this material would you recognize as mathematics on the basis of your schooleducation? How much appears on standard tests? And what kind of training best supports the development of your natural mathematical skills? How is the
integration of mathematics and culture faring today?

The six stories of this book-in addition to being examples of
cultural ecologies, mathematical mentalities, and bolts from the
blue-exhibit the integration of math and cultural history, the
basis of a new way of teaching math in school.
The author is Professor of Mathematics Emeritus at the University of California Santa Cruz specializing in the theories of chaos and catastrophes.
