A Mathematical Eye – The IMA Presidential Address for the South West and Wales Branch by Professor Paul Glendinning FRSE FIMA (IMA President).
Abstract
The Mathematical Sciences have never been more visible. 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 how a mathematician sees ordinary objects, 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.
This is an in person event. Non IMA Members welcome!
