Charting the Worlds

Etienne Ghys

Abstract: Cartography has accompanied mathematics since its very beginnings and continually renews its set of problems. I would like to present a few selected pieces of this interaction between cartography and mathematics. I hope to show through these examples how the two disciplines mutually enrich one another.

Translated by R. Matveev in 2025 from the French original published at Images des mathématiques
