Philosophers in the Technological Age
Greek philosophers built great discussions about reality, which are still current in our times and still inspire today's great thinkers. From mathematical teachings by Pythagoras, encompassing Plato's and Aristotle's ideas, these great discussions have been essential for our present intelectual development. Today, however, this role has been adopted by a new class of visionaries. Brought together by this new Platonic Academy based in Stanford University; devoted to proving and making use of the supremacy of numbers and mathematics in the digital world; intent on finding the new Holy Grail embodied in the perfect algorithm, present time's entrepreneurs of new technologies have radically trans...

Alfred Tarski
Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) was a renowned Polish/American mathematician, a giant of the twentieth century, who helped establish the foundations of geometry, set theory, model theory, algebraic logic and universal algebra. Throughout his career, he taught mathematics and logic at universities and sometimes in secondary schools. Many of his writings before 1939 were in Polish and remained inaccessible to most mathematicians and historians until now. This self-contained book focuses on Tarski’s early contributions to geometry and mathematics education, including the famous Banach–Tarski paradoxical decomposition of a sphere as well as high-school mathematical topics and pedagogy. These the...
Aproximació a l'altre / An approach to the other
The different contributions included in this volume deal with aspects of biographical writing and other similar genres (semblances, portraits, etc.). These articles analyze theoretical and generic questions as well as some of the most relevant examples of the genre – with a focus on those written in Catalan. In addition, some of the articles focus on the relationship between biography and national images (nation-building) from a sociocultural standpoint. The Research Group on Contemporary Literature from the Universitat d’Alacant has gathered contributions from several specialists in numerous fields and has selected a group of relevant works for analysis. In addition to studies on authors such as André Maurois and Lytton Strachey, contributions deal with figures such as Josep Pla, Domènec Guansé, Josep Maria Espinàs and Agustí Pons. Finally, some contributions pay attention to the biographical genre in the audiovisual arts. The volume contains contributions in Spanish, English, and Catalan.
Història de la matemàtica. Des de Mesopotàmia fins al Renaixement
Com totes les ciències, les matemàtiques han progressat molt des que l’home primitiu va començar a comptar fins a l’actualitat. L’estudi d’aquest recorregut és apassionant i, en molts casos, de vital importància per arribar a comprendre plenament alguns conceptes matemàtics. Aquest llibre, el primer de dos volums, estudia l’evolució de les matemàtiques des dels seus orígens fins al segle XVI, moment d’inflexió que donarà pas a l’anomenada matemàtica moderna. Comprèn, doncs, una llarguíssima etapa en què les grans civilitzacions antigues i medievals, sempre en fructífera interrelació, van establir els fonaments de la geometria, el càlcul, l’àlgebra i la mecànica. Història de la matemàtica vol descobrir al lector les fites i les curiositats d’una aventura que ha estat determinant per al progrés de la humanitat i que, de ben segur, encara ens té reservades moltes sorpreses
