This work contains the proceedings of the "Mathematics and Culture" conference held in Venice in March 2002. The conference aims to act as a bridge across the various aspects of human knowledge.

This volume therefore covers music, cinema, art, theatre and literature, with topics ranging from Tibet to comics.
