Math for the New Millennium: Ideas that Change the World
Mathematics occupies a unique place among the vast variety of academic disciplines: it can be classified as both an art and a science. Its natural symmetry, elegant logic, and intrinsic beauty of arguments and constructions make it appear as a very sophisticated art form. Equally compelling, deep and seemingly abstract mathematical ideas prove to be exceptionally applicable. In modern times, the process of mathematical discovery is at the heart of both fundamental intellectual pursuit and technological innovation.
CMC mathematicians professors Asuman Aksoy P'07, Lenny Fukshansky, Blake Hunter, and Chiu-Ken Kao will explore some of the remarkable problems and ideas in several branches of modern mathematics, such as analysis, applied mathematics, statistics, and number theory. These, among other areas in math, significantly impact human activity, from natural sciences to engineering and computer science, digital communications to artificial intelligence, and many others. The panelists will also incorporate their work and research into the discussion.
