Description
Claudio Bartocci
Back in 1960 physicist Eugene Wigner was probing the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics": why on earth should the laws of physics, which describe disparate phenomena, all be subject to the inflexible laws of number? Yet what seems to be even more mysterious and difficult to explain than the effectiveness of mathematics is its beauty. Ever since the days of ancient Greece, the discipline has represented an ideal of harmony and perfection, of the elegant and the essential, which has fascinated painters, sculptors, musicians and writers.
