Aalto Mathematics and Arts Colloquium

Professor Daina Taimina (Cornell University): Study mathematics and ... become an artist?

Chair: Martti Raevaara

When I was in middle school I was a good student and had very good grades in all subjects...except in art class where I was struggling to draw the way my teacher thought was the right way. I accepted my teacher's judgement that I can do anything but art and went to study mathematics. Could I imagine that some fifty years later I will be known as an artist? Mathematics and art are not too distant. In my talk, I will discuss the interplay between mathematics and art from my own perspective.

This event is in English.
