شکل محتوا: مجموعه‌ای از نوشتارهای خلاقانه در ریاضیات و علوم

This book is a collection of creative pieces poems, short stories, essays, play excerpts that give shape to mathematical and scientific content. This book portrays by example how various people work creatively with ideas from mathematics and other sciences. Creative writing about the content of mathematics and science is rare, and creative writing about the activity of mathematical and scientific creation is even rarer. This book arose from a unique, remarkable effort to encourage practitioners who engage this content in their work and to spark collaborations: a series of week-long workshops organized by the editors and supported jointly by the world-famous Banff Centre for the Arts and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery.

this Book Is A Collection Of Creative Pieces—poems, Short Stories, Essays, Play Excerpts—that Give Shape To Mathematical And Scientific Content. This Book Portrays By Example How Various People Work Creatively With Ideas From Mathematics And Other Sciences. Creative Writing About The Content Of Mathematics And Science Is Rare, And Creative Writing About The Activity Of Mathematical And Scientific Creation Is Even Rarer. And Yet, When It Occurs, It Can Be Extremely Popular, As Well Known Plays Like Proof And Copenhagen And Biographies Like A Beautiful Mind And The Man Who Loved Only Numbers Attest. What Draws The Public To These Works? And Why, Given That Something Does, Are There So Few Examples Of Literature That Engages These Themes? Mathematics And Science Are Part Of World Culture, Part Of The Human Spirit, Fit Subjects For Art Of All Kinds.
