You’ve probably learned early on that there are three primary colours. But why three? And why these three? And what does it have to do with “adding” colours? Is the “addition” of colours even an addition? Surprisingly, the answer lies in the beautiful mathematics of linear algebra and (high) dimension spaces!

What’s a straight line? Curved-space geometry | Science4All 10
Over 2,000 years ago, the Greek scholar Eratosthenes proved that the Earth was round and measured its size using only a stick and a camel. And yet, if intelligent aliens ever fly to Earth, they’ll probably rather reckon that the Earth is flat… Here’s why!
What’s 10% up followed by 10% down? Not 0% up. But almost. The study of why that is has led to major developments in the History of mathematics, like the invention of calculus, which have been instrumental in the developments of science: Linearization. But its overuse conceals its fundamental limitations…
Pluto has recently been demoted from its planetary status. With a bit of hindsight, what’s surprising about this demotion is not that Pluto is no longer a planet; it’s that it ever was regarded as a planet. And the reason for that lies in a nice piece of History.

Pi is a favorite of both amateur and professional mathematicians. Why is that? What is it that makes this number so special? I’ll argue that the answer lies both in its ubiquity and its evasiveness.

For one hour, I will take you through some of the most amazing recent subfields of mathematics. From computational theory to chaos theory, from infinity to ergodicity, from mathematical physics to category theory, we will be unveiling mind-blowing results of modern mathematics. Although primarily aimed at non-mathematicians, it should be of great interest to everyone.

In this talk, I will take you through some of the greatest simple ideas of the 20th century. From operations research to topology, from set theory to graph theory, from fractals to infinity, we will explore different regions of the world of mathematics. While this presentation is primarily aimed at non-mathematicians, it should be of great interest to everyone.
