Lectures for the Friends of Stanford Mathematics

Brian Conrad, David Hoffman, and I have helped organize public lectures at Stanford over the last couple of years. They have provided an opportunity to gather together friends of mathematics. "Friends of Stanford Mathematics" is a name we have used to describe an unofficial group of people supportive of mathematics at Stanford and more broadly in the San Francisco Bay Area, including educators, innovators, students, alumni, and more. We have invited a sampling of them to receptions before each of the lectures.

Our speakers so far are listed on here.

Some postes are here, for eventual migration to the MRC website:

  • Terry Tao's The Cosmic Distance Ladder.
  • Manjul Bhargava's Linguistics, Poetry, and Mathematics

    We hope to make these lectures a regular occurrence.
