Maths: it's everywhere you look! Or as Galileo put it, "the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics". Whether you're a professional, a student or an enthusiastic amateur, you might enjoy the upcoming lecture put on by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute "" which will be presented by guest speaker Arun Ram.

Arun has a PhD in Mathematics, he's worked for the University of Wisconsin before moving to Australia to work at the University of Melbourne. Of the lecture, AMSI's overview says, "This talk will take a virtual tour of the toy store with our friends Maria Callas, Alexander Grothendieck and Hermann Hesse.

There are pleasant games with glass beads, athletic games skiing the moguls, and violent games where everything gets smashed. There are crystals and hurricanes and, of course, a few polynomials. The point of the talk is to tell some stories related to current research in symmetry". The talk is free to attend, you just need to register via their website link below.
