THE BIG STORY OF GEOMETRY
Like all science, the geometry has its roots in the mists of time. Reconstruct the story means to follow the same path of human civilization, and to identify the traces left by those rules in the works of art from all periods and all peoples. Starting for example from the pyramids, which reveal the knowledge of the Egyptians in the area of \u200b\u200bpolygons and solids. O Sri Yantra, an ancient and mysterious object of worship in India who comes from a complex intersection of triangles. To contemporary art, where we discover the hidden structure in singular paintings of Salvador Dali, or we focus on abstract art of Kandinsky and Mondrian, whose works seem to have been specially designed to illustrate a text geometry. With his usual style, always light and fun, Piergiorgio Odifreddi transforms what has been and continues to be one of the worst nightmares for school students of each generation on a journey attractive, full of surprises and curiosity. A unique opportunity to rediscover in a new light on old favorites such as Pythagoras, Euclid and Archimedes, to abandon stereotypes and fears, and leave with enthusiasm to conquer space geometry.
