Abstract:

Several of the most influential Latin American writers were interested in the sciences. Moreover, a handful showed an affinity to mathematics since childhood, eventually following careers as physicists, engineers, and mathematicians before turning their attention to the arts. In the end, they became novelists, essayists, and poets, who made significant contributions to their field. There is a large amount of existent traditional literature analysis research on Latin American authors. In the last sixteen years, research has shifted to include a focus on the connection between math and literatur

Abstract:

Symmetries play an essential role in nature. Symmetrical structures are generally perceived as beautiful. Mathematicians and also physicists even regard symmetries in the equations for the mathematical and physical description of the world as an indication of their correctness. The British mathematician Godfrey Harold Hardy [1.] writes: "The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.“ A very i

The most striking advances in the knowledge of human anatomy and physiology that the world had ever known—or was to know until the seventeenth century A.D.—took place in Hellenistic Alexandria.

After the tatter's death in 323 B.C. and the subsequent dissolution of his empire, it became the capital of one of his generals, Ptolemy, son of Lagus, who established the Ptolemaic dynasty there. The first Ptolemy, subsequently named Soter (the Saviour), and his son Ptolemy Philadelphus (who succeeded him in 285 B.C.), became immensely enriched b

Abstract This article explores the source and the meaning of the eleven quatrains quoted by modern Japanese writer Dazai Osamu (1909-1948) in his last complete novel, Ningen shikkaku (No Longer Human, 1948). Although dubbed as “rubaiyat”, which would indicate that they are translations of classical Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam (1048-1131), the poems do not seem to match any of the known English translations from his work. This article explores the origin of the Japanese quatrains in Dazai’s novel, as well as their possible relevance for his literary work overall.

Abstract:

That Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was one of America's most outstanding poets is hardly a little-known fact. That he was also an accomplished mathematician is something few people know. One of the problems mathematics instructors face is dealing with mathematics anxiety and the myth that “some people have a math mind and some don't” (Kogelman and Warren 1978). Mathematics is often viewed as a “mystique accessible to few” (Buxton 1981); and even many educators will categorize a student as a non mathematics person, thus students “are steered away from precollege mathematics” and “not even given th

The vitality of his occasional poetry mainly addressed to his close friends and seldom intended for publication is fed by the permanent contrast between the German and the Romanian culture and civilization.

Cometary theory had remained predominantly rooted in Aristotelianism until late in the seventeenth century. Yet concurrent with the expansion of astronomical understanding there persisted a steadfast vein of astrological superstition. While the newly emerging field of experimental natural philosophy successfully discredited many traditional principles, a notable discord still existed within the academic community regards cometary superstition and prognostication. The Neapolitan mathematician, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, sought to rectify past misconceptions regarding the nature of comets. And li

Abstract In the fourth/tenth century a great number of new intellectual centers appeared in the Islamic world, and an increase in the number of persons involved in production of written works on mathematics and astronomy took place. One such new center was Aleppo under the Ḥamdanid ruler Sayf al-Dawla. According to al-Qabīṣī the generosity of Sayf al-Dawla led to the situation that ignorant people pretended to be astronomers or astrologer. Therefore, al-Qabīṣī argued, exams should be established for testing the level of competence and the completeness of knowledge of a candidate. Al-Qabīṣī was

Mathematics and poetry are emanations of the human intellect to be valued in it and for itself. As the mathematician Hardy says, a mathematician, like a poet, is a maker of patterns. Their patterns should be beautiful, and symmetry is a source of beauty. The subjects here focused aim to emphasise interesting relationships between pattern makers from different areas of creativity, like poetry and mathematics. We live in a universe of patterns, where symmetry plays a central role. Symmetry is not only beauty to be admired, but it is also a useful instrument to discover the clues and rules of nat

ABSTRACT: This article contends that in "A Descent into the Maelström" Poe establishes his model of the vortex, thus carrying his tale beyond mere adventure (and future SF). The model is both rational and strictly contradictory; it shows the very laws of reason carrying the mind unswervingly to the irrational. It is a model that can be shared by literary scholars and mathematicians. It formalizes the approach to the infinite Center, one of the ultimate figures on the threshold of Space itself. That is how the study of Poe's tale develops into an invitation to recognize and cultivate the imagin

Omar Khayyam, a philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, and scientist, is one of the intellectuals whose arguments and insights traveled beyond the borders of Persia and profoundly influenced the literature and cultures of many other countries over the years. The Eastern-inspired quatrains' meanings, contexts, and messages were subjected to unrestrained interpretations and distortions, dramatically impacting Khayyam's reputation. Although scholars debated the non-uniformity of the quatrains and cast doubt concerning the attributions to Khayyam, FitzGerald picked up a few poems from hundreds of
