This book does not follow the mainstream: its purpose is to give an informal and easy account of some ideas of modern physics and mathematics that, in spite of their major conceptual and practical relevance, are not typically discussed in popular texts. Moreover, we present also a brief account of the life and personality of the scientists who contributed to the development of those ideas. The potential readers we had in mind are high school teachers, college and high school students, and—more generally—persons with just a basic knowledge of mathematics (high school), but with interest and curiosity in science. Our ambition is to provide the readers with some friendly tools to better understand the world around us as well as to get some history of the ideas that changed it. In our path we tried to avoid too technical details (only in a few cases we introduce some simple formulas or more technical footnotes), without the abdication to the correctness of the conceptual aspects. We will mainly focus on a set of topics covering the following subjects (and their interplay): statistical mechanics, soft matter, probability, chaos, complexity, and the role of models and numerical simulations.
