Harmony in Mathematics
Arts and Mathematics are very old close friends. Ancient
Greek Mathematicians explained how harmonious sounds are
made. Renaissance artists discovered how to translate the
scenes in the space onto a canvas. Through Mathematics,
one can learn the most important tools to become a bigger
person: Deduction and Intuition. In everyday life, we see,
hear, and feel the Harmony. |

Mathematics of Planet Earth
Earth is a complex planet inside the solar system, with
dynamic movements in the mantle, an atmosphere, and
oceans. It supports life and is organized by humans. More
recently the future of life is threatened by climate change
and overexploitation of resources. Mathematics provides
tools to discover the history of the Earth, explore its interior,
study its climate, and understand its ecosystems. The lecture
will highlight with examples the role of mathematics in
discovering, understanding our planet, and the challenges to
help protecting it. |
