Matematica e Cultura 2007, published by Springer and edited by Michele Emmer, includes two chapters on mathematics and music written by Kyma users: Simple mapping e la dimensione estetica by Brian Evans (which addresses the connection between music, graphics, and number), and La metafora nella matematica e nel suono by Carla Scaletti (which equates the act of mathematical discovery with that of musical composition). Other topics in the book include infinity, architecture, soap bubbles, graphic novels, mathematicians and autism, front-back symmetry in pre-Incan Peruvian weaving, and many others. An English version of the text is to be published in October 2007. The Italian version can be ordered online from Springer (or from Amazon).
