What do mathematical proofs and poems have in common? Surprisingly, basic research in mathematics may share more similarities with the arts and humanities than you might think.
Join Dr. Kathryn Mann for a behind-the-scenes discussion about the nature of mathematical truth and what makes math a creative and humanistic activity. She will discuss mathematical thinking, what differentiates it from other forms of scientific inquiry, and what mathematicians actually do. (Hint: They don’t just add big numbers.)
