The Institute of Mathematical Sciences launches ‘Dimensión Fractal’, a new window onto current mathematical affairs in elDiario.es. This section, which will be published monthly, will feature popular science pieces written by specialised research staff. It is also edited and coordinated by Ágata Timón García-Longoria, coordinator of the ICMAT Mathematical Culture Unit (UCMAT)

In this way, ICMAT, through its UCMAT, continues its institutional commitment to fostering a conversation about mathematics beyond the scientific community

The space opens with an article focusing on the philosopher Simone Weil, a figure who has inspired the artist Rosalía in her latest work, Lux. Simone had a genuine interest in mathematics, particularly in the areas of geometry and number theory, thanks to the dialogue and correspondence she maintained with her brother André Weil, one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. The piece is signed by Enrique Aycart Maldonado, a predoctoral researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid and a member of ICMAT.
