The following judgment of Chebyshev, from his paper "The drawing of geographical maps" ([B11], Vol. 5, pp. 150-157; Oeuvres, Vol. 1, pp. 239-247), is well-known: The majority of practical problems lead to maximum and minimum problems that are completely new to science, and only by solving those problems can we satisfy the requirements of practice, which always and everywhere seeks the best and most advantageous.

"Mathematics: The New Golden Age offers a glimpse of the extraordinary vistas and bizarre universes opened up by contemporary mathematicians: Hilbert's tenth problem and the four-color theorem, Gaussian integers, chaotic dynamics and the Mandelbrot set, infinite numbers, and strange number systems. Why a "new golden age"? According to Keith Devlin, we are currently witnessing an astronomical amount of mathematical research. Charting the most significant developments that have taken place in mathematics since 1960, Devlin expertly describes these advances for the interested layperson and adroitly summarizes their significance as he leads the reader into the heart of the most interesting mathematical perplexities - from the biggest known prime number to the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture for Fermat's Last Theorem."--BOOK JACKET.
