Few people have proved more influential in the field of differential and algebraic geometry, and in showing how this links with mathematical physics, than Nigel Hitchin. Oxford University's Savilian Professor of Geometry has made fundamental contributions in areas as diverse as: spin geometry, instanton and monopole equations, twistor theory, symplectic geometry of moduli spaces, integrables systems, Higgs bundles, Einstein metrics, hyperkähler geometry, Frobenius manifolds, Painlevé equations, special Lagrangian geometry and mirror symmetry, theory of grebes, and many more.He was previously Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, as well as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick, is a Fellow of the Royal Society and has been the President of the London Mathematical Society.The chapters in this fascinating volume, written by some of the greats in their fields (including four Fields Medalists), show how Hitchin's ideas have impacted on a wide variety of subjects. The book grew out of the Geometry Conference in Honour of Nigel Hitchin, held in Madrid, with some additional contributions, and should be required reading for anyone seeking insights into the overlap between geometry and physics.

Based on an exhibition organized by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, in partnership with UNESCO and the IHES in Paris.
Published to accompany an exhibition by the same name, this book brings together mathematicians and major contemporary artists to brainstorm about how their disciplines intersect. The exhibition and the book seek to combine the aesthetic, scientific,and educational aspects of mathematics into one unique experience.
The six mathematicians―Sir Michael Atiyah, Alain Connes, Nicole El Karoui, Mikhail Gromov, Cédric Villani, and Don Zagier―represent a range of geographical backgrounds and mathematical disciplines. The artists collaborating with them are Raymond Depardon, Cai Guo-Qiang, David Lynch, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Together they have come up with specially and aesthetically designed ways to exhibit mathematics, to unveil the beauty and visionary insights of this discipline. 100 in color and black and white

This volume is the outgrowth of a conference devoted to William K. Clifford entitled, "New Trends in Geometrical and Topological Methods", which was held at the University of Madeira in July and August 1995. The aim of the conference was to bring together active workers in fields linked to Clifford's work and to foster the exchange of ideas between mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Divided into 6 one-day sessions, each session was devoted to a specific aspect of Clifford's work. 
This volume is an attempt to bring the Clifford legacy in a new perspective to a larger community of mathematicians and physicists. New concepts, ideas, and results stemming from Clifford's work are discussed. Each article in the book is a self-contained paper that was presented at or submitted to the conference.
