The Mathematics of Beauty and The Beauty of Mathematics
(for all audiences)
Synopsis: Whether subjective or objective, ephemeral or eternal, arousing the senses or charming the intellect, the definition of beauty has forever challenged artists and philosophers alike. This engaging and highly visual presentation invites you to ponder the meanings of beauty, examine the mathematics behind things beautiful, and enjoy aspects of mathematics that delight students, teachers, mathematicians, and all lovers of mathematics.
Monica Neagoy’s longstanding loves for mathematics and the arts come together in this talk. She has given this presentation as a keynote speech, at math conferences or special mathematics events across, in the United States and in many foreign countries (on three continents), and has garnered much acclaim for both its content and format.
