SUMMARY:Talk\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:from event website: \nDr Eugenia Cheng will describe her journey from “normal” apolitical mathematician\, to mathematician-artist-musician. Previously shying away from discussing political and social issues\, she now does the opposite and uses her math\, music\, and art in intertwined ways to address these topics head on. During this multi-disciplinary presentation she will present abstract mathematics that she uses to discuss social issues with art students; she will also show some of her mathematical art installations with social themes\, and perform some of her songs. No mathematical background is needed. There will be free pizza for the first 50 attendees! \nDr Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician\, educator\, author\, public speaker\, columnist\, concert pianist\, artist and composer. She is Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, won tenure in Pure Mathematics at the University in Sheffield\, and holds a PhD in pure mathematics from the University of Cambridge. She was an early pioneer of math on YouTube and her videos have been viewed over 20 million times to date. She is the author of eight popular math books including “How to Bake Pi”\, and “x+y: A Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender” and two children’s books. Her books have been translated into twenty languages so far. She has given talks and interviews around the world including for the BBC\, NPR\, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Dr Cheng is the founder of the Liederstube\, an intimate oasis for art song based in Chicago\, writes the Everyday Math column for the Wall Street Journal\, and has completed several art commissions and song commissions. Her song “The Mother Who Died\, Too” was commissioned for Laura Strickling’s 40@40 project\, the recording of which has been nominated for a GRAMMY award.

SUMMARY:Talk\, University of Mississippi\, Dalrymple Series
DESCRIPTION:from event website: \nWhere does math come from: from rules in a textbook? From logic and deduction? Not quite. In this talk Eugenia Cheng will argue that math comes from human curiosity – most importantly\, from asking questions. Many people are discouraged from asking these questions in school\, thinking they’re too simple to be taken seriously\, or being told that their questions are stupid. But often\, these simple-sounding questions lead to wondrous mathematical revelations. Dr Cheng will take us on a journey of discovery starting with questions like “Why does 2×3 = 3×2?” and “What’s the point of math?”\, leading us into research-level abstract mathematics. The journey will take us via food\, music\, hairstyles\, and other unexpected topics\, revealing how profound insights can emerge from seemingly unlikely sources\, and showing that being the kid who asked “But\, why does 1+1=2?” could be more important than being the kid who always got the right answers. \n  \nDr. Eugenia Cheng\, Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, is a world-renowned educator\, author\, and public speaker.  She is the author of several popular mathematics books\, including “How to Bake Pi” and “Joy of Abstraction”.  Her books have received widespread acclaim from sources including The New York Times\, National Geographic\, and Scientific American; and she has been featured on programs around the world including the BBC\, NPR\, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. \n  \nThe Dalrymple Lecture Series in the University of Mississippi Department of Mathematics was endowed by Mr. and Mrs. Arch Dalrymple III of Amory\, Mississippi. Arch Dalrymple attended Cornell University\, Amherst College and UM\, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1947. \nThe Dalrymple Lecture Series brings distinguished speakers to discuss mathematics and mathematics research. Lectures are aimed at the general audience—students and non-mathematicians are encouraged to attend. \n  \nThe 2023 Dalrymple Lecture is sponsored by the Department of Mathematics\, the College of Liberal Arts\, the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement\, and the UM Lecture Series. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served at 5:30pm.

SUMMARY:Topos Institute\, Category Theory outreach panel
DESCRIPTION:from the event website: \n\n\nAbout\nCategory theory is a wonderful subject\, deep and broad\, spanning the breadth of mathematics and having applications throughout science\, engineering\, technology\, and the arts. But for people outside of academia\, it can be a difficult subject to learn. Topos Institute is hosting a panel discussion\, moderated by Emily Riehl\, to help people get a better handle on how they may begin to learn the subject and to help category theorists understand what they can do to facilitate this process. The discussion will be livestreamed and then archived on the Topos Institute YouTube channel for all to view. \nIf you are interested in learning CT\, please submit a question to our panel. We probably will not have time to answer technical questions\, but questions about intuition\, motivation\, resources\, processes for learning\, applications\, challenges\, culture\, philosophy\, etc. are more than welcome. To submit a question\, please use the form linked below. \nQuestion submission form ↗︎

SUMMARY:Talk at the London School of Economics and Political Science
DESCRIPTION:X+Y: A Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender\nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. Dr Cheng will draw on a combination of precise mathematical reasoning\, techniques of abstract mathematical thinking\, and my experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of mathematics. \nDr Cheng will argue that if we focus on character traits rather than gender\, we can have a more productive and less divisive conversation\, about math and beyond. She will present a new theory for doing so\, showing that we can use abstract mathematical thinking to work towards a more inclusive society in this politically divisive era. \n  \nNote that there will be no book sales at this event\, but if you bring copies of any of Dr Cheng’s books she will be happy to sign them.

SUMMARY:Talk at JMM Boston\, Applied Category Theory session
DESCRIPTION:Privilege structures: from posets to generalised metric spaces \nSheraton Boston\, Republic A \nI will use posets to illuminate privilege structures in society and the divisive arguments surrounding them\, including straw person arguments about what privilege means\, and where antagonism arises from functions between posets that are not order-preserving. I will then use Lawvere’s generalised metric spaces to add more nuance to this analysis so that we can consider different weightings for different types of privilege. Lawvere’s generalised metric spaces can be expressed as categories enriched in with as the monoidal structure. Crucially\, the distance function is then not required to be symmetric\, and this is critical in an analysis of privilege as it is not just the difference in privilege that we seek to measure\, but whether it’s a loss or gain.

SUMMARY:JMM Boston: panel event "Reaching the public"
DESCRIPTION:Reaching the Public: Why\, Where\, and How to Tell Math Stories in Newspapers and Popular Books \nSheraton Boston\, Fairfax A \nGuest on panel chaired by Susan D’Agostino \nwith Daniel Taber \nAs a faculty member\, you regularly share your knowledge of and passion for math with students. But has your voice and expertise reached those beyond your classroom? In this time of science denialism\, publishing math stories in newspapers\, magazines\, and books aimed at the general public is a rewarding pursuit that builds your personal platform while enhancing public math literacy. News and magazine editors are eager to hear from mathematicians\, but they need you to reach out to them. Likewise\, book editors are also eager to hear from mathematicians\, but they often want to see that you have first published stories in public-facing newspapers and magazines. Come listen to honest tales of what works and what doesn’t from a mathematics book editor at Oxford University Press and a mathematician-turned-journalist who has published math and science stories in The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, Scientific American\, Wired\, Quanta Magazine\, National Public Radio\, and BBC Science Focus. Get inspired and leave with ideas for how you might take your first—and later—steps pursuing a side gig as a public math intellectual.

SUMMARY:AMS Erdős Memorial Lecture (Joint Mathematics Meetings\, Boston)
DESCRIPTION:Joint Mathematics Meetings\, Boston \nBallroom AB\, Hynes Convention Center \nAssociativity\, Commutativity and Units: a Higher-dimensional ballet \nAssociativity\, commutativity and unit laws are axioms we typically learn about early on\, in the context of numbers. We might then take them for granted until we meet non-commutative situations\, such as multiplication of matrices\, or symmetry groups. In higher dimensions we start to encounter non-associativity and non-unitality as well\, but there is more nuance: rather than associativity simply being true or not true\, there are shades of grey\, where associativity holds up to isomorphism\, equivalence\, or just some sort of map. In this talk I will describe how those familiar three families of axioms become the essence of all the interesting features of weak higher-dimensional category theory. Moreover\, rather than being three different types of axioms they are inextricably related via a higher-dimensional version of distributivity. The ballet they present is one of ebb and flow\, give and take\, where rigidity for one “dancer” always needs to be offset by flexibility in another. I will show that the apparently mundane maths of high school has deep category theoretical insights embedded in it\, if we care to look. I will not assume any prior knowledge of category theory.

SUMMARY:Talk\, "The Square Root of 2 and the Devil in Music" - Caltech Y
DESCRIPTION:from event website: \nTime & Location\n\n\nOct 19\, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAthenaeum\, 551 S Hill Ave\, Pasadena\, CA 91106\, USA \n\n\n\nAbout The Event\n\n\n\nNo Host Bar 6:00 pm \nDinner 7:00 pm \nSpeaker 8:00 pm \n  \nPlease RSVP by October 10th\, 2022 \nSpace is limited. \n  \nPer Caltech policy\, all guests are required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry. \nPlease bring vaccination documentation with you to the event. \n— \nThe square root of 2 is one of the great conundrums of mathematics.  So easy to describe but so difficult to pin down! What actually is it?  The devil in music or “diabolo in musica” is the tritone\, and it acquired this nickname because it is the most dissonant of all intervals. With demonstrations on the piano and violin\, Dr.  Cheng will weave these two stories together. We will see how a mathematical understanding of irrational numbers leads to the well-tempered tuning system that inspired Bach to write preludes and fugues in every key (twice) and how the square root of two gives rise to the devil in music. \n  \nDr. Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician\, concert pianist\, and Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Alongside  her research in Category Theory and undergraduate teaching\, her aim is  to rid the world of “math phobia.” She was an early pioneer of math on YouTube\, and her book\, How to Bake Pi was featured on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Her latest book\, X + Y: A  Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender was released in 2020. \n  \nFriends dinners are unique evenings where the Caltech and Pasadena communities come together to engage with world-renowned scientific\,  humanitarian\, and civic leaders. You are receiving this event because you are a Friend of the Caltech Y or a Friend is inviting you. Friends dinners are not fundraising events. Our ticket price covers our cost for the evening.

SUMMARY:Talk\, New Scientist Live - London
DESCRIPTION:from the host website: \n\nThe joy of abstraction\n Universe Stage\n\n\nMaths isn’t just about numbers\, equations\, and getting the right answer. In this talk\, based on her new book\, Eugenia Cheng will show how even high-level abstract maths can be accessible\, open-ended\, and joyful. She will introduce category theory\, (abstract mathematics typically only seen by advanced maths students) which she has been teaching to art students for several years. Eugenia brings abstract mathematical ideas down to earth using examples of social justice\, current events\, and everyday life; and will argue that “abstract” doesn’t mean “irrelevant”\, but rather\, that abstract thinking can help us understand urgent issues in the world around us. Abstract also doesn’t have to mean “difficult”: the only prerequisites are curiosity and an open mind about what maths really is.
