Professor Paul Glendinning FRSE FIMA will give his IMA Presidential Address, A Mathematical Eye.
Abstract
The Mathematical Sciences have never been more visible. For instance, modellers and statisticians have informed policy during the pandemic and Big Data impinges on everybody’s daily lives. For a mathematician there is so much more: mathematics is all around us. In this talk I will explore the world with a mathematical eye. This leads to questions about mathematics in society, and the role and responsibilities of the mathematical community to help unlock everyone’s inner mathematician.
The only prerequisite for this talk is an enquiring mind.
The President, Professor Paul Glendinning will give his IMA Presidential Address at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, 23 November 2022, at the Royal Society, with registration opening at 6.10 pm. He will subsequently repeat his talk at our UK Branches.
Admission is by advance booking only on a first-come, first-served basis. For those who wish to attend the address only there is no charge, whilst a payment of £16 is required for the reception which follows the address. All attendees must register in advance.
