THE SHAPE OF CONTENT-MUSIC, PERFORMANCE & TALKS
An event to celebrate creative writing in mathematics and
science
Fields Institute,
222 College Street
You are invited to an event to celebrate creative writing
in mathematics and science and the publication of "The
Shape of Content", edited by Chandler Davis, Marjorie
Wikler Senechal and Jan Zwicky.
Creative writing about the content of mathematics and science
is rare, and creative writing about the activity of mathematics
and scientific creation is even rarer. This book arose from
a unique and remarkable endeavor with practitioners who engage
this content in their work.
We hope that graduate students, postdoctoral fellows or other
academics who would be interested will attend this event extolling
creative writing on mathematics and science by thinkers, artists
and academics.All creative thinkers welcome! FREE EVENT

Robert Moody, Alex Kasman, Philip Holmes, Donal O’
Shea, Marjorie Wikler Senechal and Chandler Davis
