The Impertinente Mathematician
(Piergiorgio Odifreddi)
Most valid work of the Prof. Odifreddi, that it explains as a mathematical approach to all is nowadays much profit the aspects of the life, from politics to the religione.Attraverso understood them short but intense in fact Odifreddi analyzes the situation odierna of the world, supplying given to the most disowned that the guarigioni of Lourdes as an example take apart some myths of our age ().
the position of departure of the university professor is pure atheist, but this on this subject does not prevent to be objective in judging regarding issues to it the religion (a lot interesting one interview to the Dalai Lama).
Every understood it is opened it and closed from two interviews: those of opening are imaginary to personages of the past (as an example Hitler and Newton), those of closing are real to personages of the present (as already cited Dalai Lama and John Nash, whose life has inspired the film rewarded with the Oscar ?To beautiful mind?).
To my modest warning this is a test that deserves the purchase, because it analyzes disparate thematic (from the philosophy to the mathematics, from politics to science) always with the same coherence and acquaintance, supplying to the reader an authoritative but never authoritarian point of view
