Mathematics Everywhere

The authors are renowned mathematicians; their presentations cover a wide range of topics. From compact discs to the stock exchange, from computer tomography to traffic routing, from electronic money to climate change, they make the "math inside" understandable and enjoyable.

Most of my students ask me at some point, and this where will it serve me? Especially when we see more abstract mathematical ideas for them, such as the calculation of roots of a polynomial. Someone even made a joke by saying "no way I go to the store and tell the lady to sell me of rice". It must be said that, in large part, this lack of connection of mathematics with the reality of the common person (this does not happen with those who study the career of mathematics) is due to some extent to a bad design in the plans and programs of study from the basic level, to the upper level, where preference is given to the teaching of algorithms instead of showing the beauty of mathematics that occurs through thought. So, the main objective of this text, is to bring the ordinary person to the math and show that, in fact, is presented everywhere (literally), that wherever you go or whatever you do, all is related to mathematics. It would not be bad for the reader to do the exercise of imagining what his life would be like without mathematics, because, for example, this would affect the transportation system, the communications system, the Internet would not exist without mathematics. Throughout the book we will see a variety of examples in everyday life where mathematics is used. I do not have the biggest doubt that the reader will be surprised at the many uses of mathematics that he learns in school. Obviously, a book is not enough to show how mathematics is everywhere, in everything we do, even in the way we think, but it is a little introduction and maybe, in the future, we can write a second part with more examples, as beautiful as the ones I show here.

Math is Everywhere has 365 math activities you can do with your kids.

The book is a collection of original papers, research and surveys, dedicated to the memory of the Romanian mathematician Solomon Marcus (1925-2016). Marcus published many papers and books in mathematical analysis, theoretical computer science, mathematical linguistics, poetics, theory of literature, semiotics, and several other fields less strongly connected to mathematics, like cultural anthropology, biology, history and philosophy of science, education. He exemplified an unimaginable richness of ideas. This volume intends to emphasize the mathematical fields in which Solomon Marcus worked, and demonstrate -- as he also did -- the interconnection between them. The authors who contribute to this volume are well-known experts in their fields. Most of them knew Solomon Marcus well, some even owed him for his decisive impulses for their careers and general development. With articles in so diverse areas, the volume will attract readers who would like to diversify their own knowledge or find unexpected connections with other topics.

These proceedings report on the conference "Math Everywhere", celebrating the 60th birthday of the mathematician Vincenzo Capasso. The conference promoted ideas Capasso has pursued and shared the open atmosphere he is known for. Topic sections include: Deterministic and Stochastic Systems. Mathematical Problems in Biology, Medicine and Ecology. Mathematical Problems in Industry and Economics. The broad spectrum of contributions to this volume demonstrates the truth of its title: Math is Everywhere, indeed.
