(O pi\u00f9 probabilmente non l&#8217;avete visto, di Elwes forse uscir\u00e0 prima o poi <i>Maths 1001<\/i> per Newton Compton). Ma \u00e8 sempre lo stesso libro, facente parte della collana di Quercus &#8220;35 interesting uses of&#8221;. Devo dire che in questa sua prima prova editoriale Elwes mi \u00e8 parso ancora acerbo come divulgatore. Ovviamente non \u00e8 colpa sua se alcuni di questi usi della matematica non sono poi cos\u00ec interessanti: per\u00f2 ho notato che pi\u00f9 di una volta ha usato le ultime righe di uno dei capitoletti per accennare a generalizzazioni del tema. L&#8217;idea immagino fosse quella di far capire al lettore che non ci si ferma certo ai risultati mostrati in quelle poche pagine in gabbia fissa; il risultato pratico \u00e8 che al lettore resta l&#8217;impressione di un libro tagliato a met\u00e0. Da questo punto di vita \u00e8 molto meglio il suo <i>Maths 1001<\/i>, dove le definizioni in pillole sono cos\u00ec tante che \u00e8 possibile ricomporre comunque un mosaico della matematica.
