British Council and Siyahi presents Number Mysteries with Marcus du Sautoy Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Venue: Lecture Hall – 1, Annexe, India International Centre, New Delhi “Mathematicians are storytellers. Our characters are numbers and geometries. Our narratives are the proofs we create about these characters.The joy of reading and creating mathematics comes from the exciting “aha!” moment we experience when all the strands seem to come together to resolve the mathematical mystery. It is like the moment of harmonic resolution in a piece of music or the revelation of whodunnit in a murder mystery.” Marcus du Sautoy With topics ranging from prime numbers to the lottery, from lemmings to bending balls like Beckham, Professor Marcus du Sautoy will provide an entertaining and, perhaps, unexpected approach to explain how mathematics can be used to predict the future. Marcus du Sautoy is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and a Fellow of New College. He is the author of The Music of the Primes, Finding Moonshine: A Mathematician’s Journey Through Symmetry, Symmetry: A Journey into the Patterns of Nature and The Number Mysteries. He has presented numerous radio and TV series including The Story of Maths and The Code. He is a recipient of the Royal Society’s Faraday Prize (2009) and has also received an OBE for services to science (2010).
