Description:
The year's finest mathematical writing from around the world
This annual anthology brings together the year's finest mathematics writing from around the world. Featuring promising new voices alongside some of the foremost names in the field, The Best Writing on Mathematics 2020 makes available to a wide audience many articles not easily found anywhere else-and you don't need to be a mathematician to enjoy them. These writings offer surprising insights into the nature, meaning, and practice of mathematics today. They delve into the history, philosophy, teaching, and everyday aspects of math, and take readers behind the scenes of today's hottest mathematical debates.
Here, Steven Strogatz reveals how calculus drives advances in virology, Paul Thagard argues that the power of mathematics stems from its combination of realistic and fictional qualities, and Erica Klarreich describes how Hao Huang used the combinatorics of cube nodes to solve a longstanding problem in computer science. In other essays, John Baez tells how he discovered the irresistible attractions of algebraic geometry, Mark Colyvan compares the radically different explanatory practices of mathematics and science, and Boris Odehnal reviews some surprising properties of multidimensional geometries. And there's much, much more.
In addition to presenting the year's most memorable writings on mathematics, this must-have anthology includes a bibliography of other notable writings and an introduction by the editor.
This book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in where math has taken us-and where it is headed.

Easy to assemble
Pleasing to the eye...Divides the targeted area very nicely and still lets light through. It appears the piece will hold up over time.

Very impressive!
Size: 6 Panel, Size: 6 Panel
I didn't think this screen could possibly be as good as some of the reviews seems to suggest but it had a good rating and seemed like it may be a good match for my needs, which were to create a backdrop for online meetings in my garage/home office. Wow am I surprised by the quality and functionality of this screen. 1) It is really maneuverable due to the two-way hinges. I felt like a kid with a new toy playing with all of the ways you can configure this screen. 2) It's very sturdy and yet light enough to move and store if needed. 3) No weird odors, has a light woody scent, barely noticeable. 4) Its a very high quality screen, beautifully built and very pretty. 5) Its dimensions are as described, a full six foot tall. I spent a lot of time shopping for a screen and am very happy that I chose this one.

Perfect experience ！！！
I love this divider. It is long enough and easy to move around. The 360° hinge can be adjusted to any angle I like. Perfectly hides the awkward corner so I can't see it all of the time. And the light color and pattern in the panels is beautiful. I will buy another one.
