When a rough old seaman calling himself "the Captain" appears at the inn owned by Jim Hawkins' father, young Jim little dreams what adventures will follow in the man's wake. Soon, the once-peaceful inn is threatened by pirates, Jim's father is laid in his grave, and Jim finds himself in possession of a map showing the location of treasure buried by the legendary and notorious Captain Flint. Along with a group of brave men: the sensible Dr. Livesey, the fearless and unflagging Captain Smollett, and the blustering but well-meaning Squire Trelawney, Jim sets out in quest of the treasure. Many ...

Maya Chen explores recursion as the mind-bending principle where self-reference generates complexity, from sorting algorithms and fractals to computability and consciousness. Each episode reveals how self-definition shapes mathematics, computing, and possibly awareness itself.

The sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” finds Alice back in Wonderland and a piece in a surreal chess game. This weird and wonderful book includes the poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” a talking pudding, and that immortal line “Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, but never jam today.” Lewis Carroll was the nom de plume of Charles Dodgson (1832-1890) an Anglican clergyman, photographer, and mathematician.

Che fine ha fatto Perelman? Sono passati vent'anni dalla sparizione di Grigorij Perelman, il geniale matematico russo che risolse il primo dei Problemi del Millennio a 36 anni e che si ritirò tre anni dopo rinunciando a fama e premi. Perché sparì? Scelse la solitudine o fu costretto? Cosa avrebbe ancora potuto dare alla scienza? In "Dov'è Perelman?" raccontiamo la sua vita, le scelte, il contesto storico e proviamo a scoprire chi è e cosa fa oggi il matematico più elusivo del mondo. Un podcast di Stefano Pisani, prodotto da MaddMaths! e distribuito da Fandango Podcast. Scritto, ideato e ...

I saggi di questo volume, che toccano la politica, la religione, la letteratura, la filosofia, la matematica e la scienza, sono raccolti in sezioni che si aprono con interviste immaginarie a personaggi del passato (Hitler, Gesù, Dante, Aristotele, Archimede, Newton) e si chiudono con interviste reali a quelli del presente (Chomsky, il Dalai Lama, Saramago, Kripke, Nash e Watson). Nel mezzo, il matematico impertinente dispiega l'arsenale della ragione per argomentare che non è affatto vero che non possiamo non dirci cristiani, o che siamo tutti americani.

In Gödel’s Shadow: Why No System Can Explain Itself, Boris Kriger explores one of the most unsettling discoveries of modern logic and follows its consequences far beyond mathematics. Beginning with Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, the book traces how any system capable of describing itself inevitably encounters truths it cannot justify from within. What emerges is not a technical puzzle, but a profound philosophical insight into the nature of reason, meaning, and explanation.

What if the "wisdom of the ages" isn't poetry, but fossilized data? In Foundations of Intellectual Substrate Mining, Boris Kriger shatters the boundary between the humanities and hard systems science. He proposes that our cultural heritage—proverbs, maxims, and ancient doctrines—is actually a high-density Intellectual Substrate: a record of formal laws tested by reality over millennia and compressed into "lossy" linguistic forms. Stop interpreting. Start mining.

Nove volte sette. Un podcast del Dopolavoro Matematico, un viaggio critico attraverso l’uso che si fa in ambito industriale di questa disciplina e insieme un’indagine su come il nostro sistema educativo ne promuova un certo “amore tormentato”. I nostri, invece, promulgano l’esercizio curioso e libero della Matematica. Che vuol dire? Be’, se il titolo vi ricorda anche un racconto di Fantascienza, siete sulla strada giusta…
