"Exploring Patterns in Nature and Technology"
In this talk, the audience will be taken on a tour of some fun geometric patterns that occur in nature that have helped shape some of our major scientific and technological breakthroughs across the centuries.
Giansiracusa is an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University (a business school near Boston) and a visiting scholar at Harvard, with a PhD in algebraic geometry from Brown University. He has appeared on CNN live and BBC radio and written for Washington Post, Scientific American, TIME, Wired, Boston Globe, and others. The Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer said of Noah's book How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News: "There is no better guide to the strategies and stakes of this battle for the future." Noah's latest book, Robin Hood Math, explores how people of all backgrounds can use math to help navigate life and take back control in a world dominated by algorithms. Noah is also cohost of the AI in Academia podcast.
