Things Lost and Won During the Plague (Adiprasito) -- Has the coronavirus affected the Ferran Sunyer I Balaguer Prize? (Castellet) -- Intensive Collaborative Work on COVID-19 Modeling (Rao, Krantz) -- The Home-Field Paradox (Winkler) -- Data Analysis and Predictive Mathematical Modeling for COVID-19 Epidemic Studies (Quarteroni, Dede’, Parolini), A View from Lockdown: Mathematics Discovered, Invented, and Inherited (Borovik) -- Exponentials and the Virus (Hidary) -- The Consolation of Math in the Plague Time (Mazur) -- Singularities at Home, Unofficial Observations (Chang, Schulze) -- An Essay in the Time of Corona (Kubrusly) -- Truth by Close Proximity (Constanda) -- A Teacher and an Administrator in the Time of Corona (Struppa) -- Ups and Downs (Penner) -- Off Line from No Line to On Line (Nievergelt) -- Dodging a Bullet (Tu) -- The Co-Video Mathematician (Miller) -- What you always wanted to know about … exponential growth (Tretter) -- Glass and Lace (Senechal) -- Covid-19 Analytics: Proposed Projects for Undergraduate Research (Abbasian, Sieben) -- The Optimal Lockdown Strategy Against Virus Propagation and Economic Loss (Gazzola) -- Research Seminars: A New Hope (Costa, Poonen, Roe, Sutherland) -- Mathematics Indicates That an HIV-Style Strategy Could Be Applied to Manage the Coronavirus (Rowlett) -- Orchestral Turbulence (Wells Jr.) -- Applied Mathematics in the Time of Corona: A Survival Guide (Goriely) -- Glimpses at Corona: La Boqueria and Notre Dame (Hahn) -- Soap Bubbles Vanitas Venice (Emmer) -- Thoughts at the Time of an Epidemic (Soifer) -- Dancing on Stilts (Saul) -- Public Engagement 280 Characters at a Time (Johnson) -- Three Stories on the Importance of Putting It on the Back Burner (Tabachnikov) -- Solitude Is Conducive to Work and Contemplation (Alladi) -- Counting Syllables, Shaping Poems: Reflections (Growney) -- Experimental Math Outreach and Popularization During COVID-19 (Borwein) -- Counting Heads: Individual-Based Models of Disease Dynamics (Bruaset).

The title of this book, Math in the Time of Corona, has been drawn from the highly acclaimed novel by Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera. The volume editor, Alice Wonders, holds a fictitious name that represents the mathematics publishing group at Springer Nature. Undeterred by disasters, so many mathematical and scientific discoveries have been made during times of duress or confinement. Unlike most any other subject, mathematics may be researched from anywhere. Covid-19, like Cholera, implementation of vaccinations have been uneven throughout the globe since the beginning of 2021. However, there has been a renewed hope for a return to normalcy though the timing will no doubt vary worldwide. Essays in this volume vary in topic and are written by members of the greater mathematics community, hence the use of “Math” in the book title. They recount or describe significant or noteworthy discoveries, musings, award winnings, eureka moments, challenges, solutions, inspirations, etc. that have resulted from, or have occurred during, an unprecedented global pandemic. Several of the authors have been involved in starting new research and devising new methodologies related to society’s response to the outbreak and its ability to self-organize during a dramatic and complex situation. Some contributions describe how mathematical models and the management of big data have proved to be fundamental tools for the interpretation of epidemic activity and development of coping mechanisms. .
