This seminar explores the artistic dimension of mathematical concepts and their visual representations, offering both historical perspectives and insights into the process of their discovery. It highlights the role of mathematics as a universal language that transcends cultural barriers and examines the connections between mathematics and various scientific disciplines. Additionally, it encourages students to think critically, write logically, and visualize scientific concepts in mathematical terms.
This is the first time that math department offers such seminar.
In an open call for proposal, CLAS especially encourages faculty in the natural and mathematical sciences to propose for a first year seminar.
