Drawings by Pedro Aibéo
26.11.-19.12.2014

The drawings exhibited are part of the book “this is not just mathematics” published in 2012 in Portugal. This is not a book on formal Math, but an outreach one. Half of the book is illustrated with a parallel narrative, sometimes divergent and others completely secant with the main text. The stories deconstruct the mathematical concepts and lead the reader close to nonsense while raising new relevant issues. They can be amusing breaks from reading, but often these just challenge the reader.
