Description
Mathematics: The New Golden Age offers a fascinating glimpse into the latest developments in mathematics. Since 1960, mathematicians have been working on some of the most significant problems in their field, leading to breakthroughs such as Fermat's Last Theorem and major advances in topology and knot theory. Keith Devlin expertly describes these advances for the interested reader, summarizing their significance and exploring the underlying mathematical concepts. He portrays mathematics not just as a collection of procedures, but as a unified part of human culture, with strong artistic elements that reveal the creativity and ingenuity of mathematicians. This book provides a unique perspective on the subject, capturing the excitement and innovation of modern mathematics.
