Maths-Art Seminars at London Knowledge Lab

link: http://www.lkl.ac.uk/events/maths-art/index.html

A monthly series of maths-art seminars is held at the London Knowledge  
Lab in central London, usually on the second Tuesday (evening) of each  
month during term times. The idea for these grew out of our work in  
hosting the annual international Bridges Conference in London in  
August 2006.

We propose these seminars as explorations of the connections between  
"mathematics" and "art", where both terms are understood broadly: art  
implies visual art (painting, drawing, sculpture, computer graphics,  
video), architecture, music, textile art, literature/poetry (and  
others), and mathematics implies both mathematics as a discipline and  
the related disciplines in science and engineering for which  
mathematics is an essential means of expression and communication.

We aim to video record each seminar for permanent archiving as  
streaming video, and some seminars will be webcast live.

The seminars are organised by John Sharp (visiting fellow at LKL) and  
Phillip Kent (researcher in mathematics education at LKL). We welcome  
your suggestions about speakers or topics for future seminars.
