This introductory text is exploratory in nature, and is intended as a bridge between Euclid’s geometry and the modern geometry of curved spaces. It is organized around a collection of simple experiments which the reader can perform at home or in a classroom setting. Methods for physically exploring the intrinsic geometry of commonplace curved objects (such as bowls, balls and watermelons) are described. The concepts of Gaussian curvature, parallel transport and geodesics are treated. The book also contains biographical chapters on Gauss, Riemann and Levi-Civita.

The Riemann-Hilbert problem deals with linear systems of ordinary differential euqations in the complex domain. Namely, the question is whether there is a Fuchsian system with prescribed singularities and monodromy. Hilbert was, in fact, convinced that such a system does always exist. However, as it turned out only recently this is one of the very rare cases of a wrong prediction by him. In 1989, the second author of this book, A. Bolibruch, discovered a counterexample, thus giving a negative answer to Hilbert’s famous 21st problem in its original form. This fact has immediately changed
