An Art-ificial History in Mathematics

Through a series of papers, the author embarks on an alternative history of mathematics. It does not aim to be a historic overview of the achievements in the exact sciences, but an attempt to re-write its history as if it were an art form, like painting or music. The present paper further summarizes the contents of a previous paper in a single one-page table: from the earliest mathematics, visual arts and music to present. Together with a list of references, it shows how the main idea can be expanded, as will be illustrated in another paper in the present volume.status: publishe
