Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Jeffrey Weeks, a MacArthur Fellow and independent mathematician and scholar will be giving a talk on "The Shape of Space." When we look out on a clear night, the universe seems infinite.  However, that may not be so. The presentation will take us on an intriguing tour of several potential shapes of our universe.

The Daniel Bartlett Memorial Lecture recognizes a great scholar whose life ended much too soon.  Bartlett was a Presidential and National Merit Scholar from University High School and and accomplished math scholar and musician.  He was in his fourth year of graduate school in mathematics when he died tragically from cardiac arrest in 2006.
