A Tale of Two Hemispheres - A random walk along the great longitudinal fissure

An LKL Maths-Art seminar
by Michael Bartholomew-Biggs
Thursday 9th May 2013, 6.00 - 7.30pm 
**SPECIAL VENUE: ROOM 728, IOE, 20 BEDFORD WAY, WC1H 0AL**
**WE ARE NOT AT THE LKL BUILDING!**

In this talk I shall draw on my personal experience of twenty-odd years
of wandering along the fuzzy boundary between poetry and mathematics.
After a brief-ish autobiographical section I shall present some of my
own work together with a selection of (sometimes loosely) maths-related
poems by writers whose work I admire and which illustrate the use of
concepts such as randomization, permutation,  parallelism and symmetry.
There may be time for a few class exercises...
