About “Mathematics and Humanities” series

The Mathematics and Humanities book series is edited by Dr. Shing-Tung Yau et al, and co-published by Higher Education Press, of Beijing, and International Press, of Somerville, Massachusetts. This mathematical science book series is geared primarily for college students, but is also suitable for mathematics instruction in secondary schools. The series is of interest not only to mathematics teachers, students and researchers, but also to a general educated readership. Each volume in the series is a collection of articles, on the broad topics of mathematics, mathematicians, mathematical history, mathematical culture, and mathematical education. The purpose of the series is to:A

  • Introduce new developments in mathematics, and to discuss the important role of mathematics in science, economy and society, using plain expository language.
  • Provide an introduction to mathematical history and notable mathematicians, in the form of travel notes, recorded interviews, story-telling, etc.
  • Illustrate the beauty and significance of mathematics, and its relationships to music, literature, and more, in a lively and interesting manner.
