Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. This volume in the series Imagine Math casts light on what is new and interesting in the relationships between mathematics, imagination, and culture. The book opens by examining the connections between modern and contemporary art and mathematics, the contributors including Linda D. Henderson. Two very interesting papers are provided by the architect and engineer Mark Burry, who is in charge of completing the famous "Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona, the incredible vision of Gaudi. Several further papers are devoted to mathematical models and their influence on modern and contemporary art, including the work of Henry Moore and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Among the many other interesting contributions are an homage to Benoit Mandlebrot with reference to the exhibition held in New York in 2013 and the thoughts of Jean-Pierre Bourgignon on the art and math exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. The topics are treated in a way that is rigorous but captivating, detailed but very evocative. This is an all-embracing look at the world of mathematics and culture.
