Strange Attractors is a collection of approximately 150 poems with strong links to mathematics in content, form, or imagery. The common theme is love, and the editors draw from its various manifestations-romantic love, spiritual love, humorous love, love between parents and children, mathematicians in love, love of mathematics. The poets include literary masters as well as celebrated mathematicians and scientists. "e;What, after all, is mathematics but the poetry of the mind, and what is poetry but the mathematics of the heart?"e; So wrote the American mathematician and educator David Eugene Smith. In a similar vein, the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass declared, "e;A mathematician who is not at the same time something of a poet will never be a full mathematician."e; Most mathematicians will know what they meant. But what do professional poets think of mathematics? In this delightful collection, the editors present the view of the same terrain-the connections between mathematics and poetry-from the other side of the equation: the poets. Now is your chance to see if the equation balances. -Keith Devlin, mathematician, Stanford University, and author of The Math Gene, The Math Instinct, and The Language of Mathematics eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englische eBooks > Sach- & Fachthemen > Mathematik; eBooks > Fachbücher > Mathematik , Taylor & Francis Ltd., Taylor & Francis Ltd.<
