Matematika kroz kulture i epohe

Matematika kroz kulture i epohe

Vladimir Devidé

The book is adapted for non-mathematicians, but seeks an openness towards mathematics without prejudice. Devidé, a prominent Croatian mathematician, Japanologist and writer, explores mathematics as a universal language that permeates cultures, eras and ev

The work shows that mathematics is not only an exact science, but also an art present in culture, art and the "superstructure" of life. The author emphasizes its origin and influence, connecting it with historical periods and civilizations, from antiquity to modern times. The book deals with the development of mathematical ideas, their application and role in shaping worldviews, often opposing stereotypes of mathematics as a dry discipline. Devidé uses an intuitive and visual approach, making complex concepts accessible to a wider audience.

The uniqueness of the work lies in its emphasis on interdisciplinarity, connecting mathematics with philosophy, art and social contexts. Illustrations by Zvonimir Lončarić further enrich the text. The book was awarded the City of Zagreb Award in 1982, reflecting Devidé's contribution to science and culture. This is a key work for understanding mathematics as part of human heritage, written with the aim of promoting its beauty and universality.
