Descrição
The author’s biographical note is supposed to make it pretty clear why he was led to write this book in a language almost completely foreign to his everyday world. This book is the offspring of two different states of mind; initially, in the spring of 2020, the purpose was to overcome the boresome loneliness of the confinement imposed by the widespread pandemic; and thus an argumentative essay was constructed, titled — in a rather technical style: The exact trianglature of the semicircle in the 20th century USA — and eventually uploaded, as a critical paper, on the Academia.edu internet platform.
Then suddenly, last autumn, the surprising news that a pirated edition of this article was being sold in Central Europe (in Germany and Switzerland, at least) in e-book format, seemingly an auspicious omen, rang a bell: the main project was feasible.
SOBRE O AUTOR
Carlos Correia de Matos was born in Viana do Castelo, NW Portugal, by the end of the Second World War and says he is determined not to embark for the Elysian Fields before the International Mathematical Union becomes a great, decent institution again. He holds three university degrees (plus a postgraduation), each of which confers him a professional title: auditor (certified public accountant), economist and lawyer. As an economist, he was approved in the first public competition ever opened by a Portuguese university to recruit assistant professors (1977, Porto Faculty of Economics); however, he then opted for a better-paying career in the banking sector, where he developed competencies in the field of financial mathematics.
