Minds of Modern Mathematics is the app created by IBM to describe as mathematicians and mathematics have shaped the world we live. An interactive journey through the centuries (almost 1,000 years) to discover how mathematics has influenced music, science, art, architecture and culture.

Minds of Modern Mathematics is a digital recreation of a 50-foot-wide wall installation that was part of the groundbreaking 1961 Mathematica: A World of Numbers ... and Beyond, sponsored by IBM and designed by the design team Charles e Ray Eames.
The exhibition was displayed at the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry in the Exposition Park (now the California Science Center).

The app provides a wealth of historical information, high-resolution portrait and detailed personal biography of mathematicians who lived between 1000 and 1960.
Among other things contains 495 high-resolution images of artifacts selected and painstakingly retouched from the original exhibit Mathematica: A World of Numbers ... and Beyond and 9 original Eames educational films about Mathematics.

Italy and Cuba: the right to health is a common founding principle

di Maurizio Bonati
Pubblicato il 01/07/2026

From Article 32 of the Italian Constitution to Article 72 of the Cuban Constitution, the universal right to health provides the common ground on which Italy and Cuba have built - despite profoundly different political and economic contexts - healthcare systems based on primary care, prevention, and community-based services. These models, while currently facing delays and significant challenges, invite reflection on how the protection of health remains one of the most important indicators of a country's level of civilization, social justice, and the quality of its democracy.

Article 32, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the Italian Republic states that: health is a fundamental and collective right; the Republic guarantees access to care; the right to health cannot be transferred or ceded: it is inalienable and inalienable; it is a universal right, belonging to all, without discrimination; it is a subjective right of the individual; it is irreducible and essential.
