Borges and Mathematics Guillermo Martinez

Explores the scientific thinking of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). Around half of the book consists of two lectures focused on mathematics. The rest of the book reflects on the relationship between literature, artistic creation, physics, and mathematics more generally. It presents a bravura demonstration of the intricate links between the worlds of sciences and arts, and it is a thought-provoking call to dialog for readers from both traditions.
