H. Hardy. In \u003cem\u003eDo Not Erase\u003c\/em\u003e, photographer Jessica Wynne presents remarkable examples of this idea through images of mathematicians' chalkboards. While other fields have replaced chalkboards with whiteboards and digital presentations, mathematicians remain loyal to chalk for puzzling out their ideas and communicating their research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWynne offers more than one hundred stunning photographs of these chalkboards, gathered from a diverse group of mathematicians around the world. The photographs are accompanied by essays from each mathematician, reflecting on their work and processes. Together, pictures and words provide an illuminating meditation on the unique relationships among mathematics, art, and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mathematicians featured in this collection comprise exciting new voices alongside established figures, including Sun-Yung Alice Chang, Alain Connes, Misha Gromov, Andre Neves, Kasso Okoudjou, Peter Shor, Christina Sormani, Terence Tao, Claire Voisin, and many others. The companion essays give insights into how the chalkboard serves as a special medium for mathematical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume also includes an introduction by the author, an afterword by New Yorker writer Alec Wilkinson, and biographical information for each contributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDo Not Erase\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the myriad ways that mathematicians use their chalkboards to reveal the conceptual and visual beauty of their discipline—shapes, figures, formulas, and conjectures created through imagination, argument, and speculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854460375276,"sku":"9780691199221","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d1b247a86118a3e13005571ba43e6896.jpg?v=1759269849","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/do-not-erase-by-jessica-wynne-9780691199221","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
