The MIT Press has announced a new mathematics book series titled POLYMATH, in collaboration with the American Mathematical Society (AMS). This series aims to produce engaging and accessible mathematics books for a general audience. Amy Brand, Director and Publisher of the MIT Press, expressed excitement about creating a platform that merges intellectual rigor with playful thinking. Robert Harington, AMS’s Chief Publishing Officer and the series editor, highlighted the collaborative effort's goal to demystify mathematics and showcase its relevance in daily life. The series plans to release three to four titles annually, with the first book, 'Double-Take: A Field Guide to Optical Illusions, Magic, and Movie Tricks Arising from Perspective Geometry' by Annalisa Crannell, set to publish in fall 2027. This inaugural title will delve into how various artists and filmmakers utilize perspective geometry to create illusions and engage viewers. The partnership aims to connect curious readers with rich mathematical ideas through enjoyable narratives.
