[Astro] [CAPT] REMINDER: Mathematician against all odds - George Green’s life and legacy - Weds 9th April

[Ella Batchelor]

 Join us on Wed 9th April for this free evening event organised by the University of Nottingham's School of Mathematical Sciences and School of Physics & Astronomy to celebrate George Green – local mathematician, miller, and the mind behind Green’s functions.

Born in 1793, the son of a Sneinton baker, George Green worked as a miller in Nottingham until his 36th year. He left a legacy in mathematics and physics that is still remembered today. Discover his legacy and the history of Green’s Windmill and Science Centre with a public lecture and discussion, enjoy demonstrations of the practical applications of his work, and take in a guided tour around the Cosmic Titans exhibition<https://www.lakesidearts.org.uk/exhibition/cosmictitans/>.

Refreshments will be served and there will be the chance to meet scientists who build upon George Green’s foundations every day in their labs.

Join us from 4.30pm, see timings below, no booking required:

Demonstrations
4.30-6pm & 7-8pm
Angear Visitor Centre
Led by students and staff of the Schools of Mathematical Sciences and Physics & Astronomy.

Guided Tour of Cosmic Titans Exhibition
5-5.45pm
Djanogly Gallery
Led by Dr Ulrike Kuchner.

Public Lecture
6-7pm
Arts Lecture Theatre
Prof. Gregor Tanner will begin by sharing what we know about Green’s life, his scientific interests, and how he developed the equations that now bear his name. Following Prof. Tanner, Sam Boote from the Green’s Windmill Trust will delve into the fascinating history of the mill, one of Nottingham’s major landmarks. Learn how it was built in the early-19th century, its role during its working years, and the building’s incredible journey from near demolition to full restoration.


We hope to see you there!
