Dix regards sur la mathématique contemporaine
Book in French — English title: Ten Views of Contemporary Mathematics
This book grew out of a cycle of “lessons” given at IRCAM at the request of musicians wishing to be introduced to contemporary mathematics, not in the manner of a solfège class but rather in that of a series of concerts.
Its purpose is to provide access to the mathematical thought of today by presenting — far from the well-trodden paths of the step-by-step course, popularisation or metaphorical discourse — some of the key ideas of contemporary mathematics, around themes such as infinity, space, time, singularity, symmetry and duality — themes shared by many other sciences and arts.
In the background lies a question to be confronted: mathematics, which in Antiquity was regarded as the model of the ideal of a common reason, has come to be seen as an impenetrable discourse; how can a shared intelligibility be restored between mathematics, philosophy and the arts?
Yves André is a director of research at the CNRS and a member of the Istituto Veneto and the Academia Europaea.
The author of four research monographs in number theory and algebraic geometry, he led the Galois bicentenary conference and for seven years edited the mathematical journal Astérisque. Driven by a concern to understand the general ideas hidden behind the complexity of the problems that occupy him, he also pursues various interdisciplinary activities related to his philosophical interests.
