SUMMARY:"Is Math Real?" Talk\, Texas Christian University
DESCRIPTION:from the event website: \nDr. Eugenia Cheng will visit TCU April 2 & 3 as Green Honors Chair \n\nDr. Eugenia Cheng\, Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, will be visiting the TCU Department of Mathematics as a Green Honors Chair. Dr. Cheng has a Ph.D. from the Cambridge University. She is a mathematician\, educator\, author\, public speaker\, columnist\, concert pianist\, composer\, and artist who has been interviewed on NPR\, BBC\, and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” She will be giving the following lectures: \n\n Wednesday April 2nd\, 6:30-7:30pm\,  Moudy 141\, 2805 South University Drive\, Fort Worth\, TX 76109Is Math Real? How simple questions lead us to mathematics’ deepest truths\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 maths?”\, leading us into research-level abstract mathematics. The journey will take us via food\, music\, hair-styles\, 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.

SUMMARY:"Gender in Math\, Science\, and Beyond" Talk\, Texas Christian University
DESCRIPTION:from the event website: \nDr. Eugenia Cheng will visit TCU April 2 & 3 as Green Honors Chair \n\nDr. Eugenia Cheng\, Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, will be visiting the TCU Department of Mathematics as a Green Honors Chair. Dr. Cheng has a Ph.D. from the Cambridge University. She is a mathematician\, educator\, author\, public speaker\, columnist\, concert pianist\, composer\, and artist who has been interviewed on NPR\, BBC\, and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” She will be giving the following lectures: \n\n\nThursday\, April 3rd\, 4:00-5:00pm  Sid Richardson Hall\, Lecture Hall 1\,  2955 South University Drive\, Fort Worth\, TX 76109\nGender in Math\, Science and Beyond \nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. I will focus on character traits\, and argue that if we focus on this rather than gender we can have a more productive and less divisive conversation. To try and focus on characters rather than genders I will introduce gender-neutral character adjectives “ingressive” and “congressive” as a new dimension to shift our focus away from masculine and feminine. I will share my experience of teaching congressive abstract mathematics to art students\, in a congressive way\, and the possible benefits this could have for everyone in mathematics\, not just women.

SUMMARY:"The Sum of the Score: Math in Music" Talk with baritone\, Peter Wesoloski\, Kavli IPMU Tokyo
DESCRIPTION:from the event webpage: \n\n\n\nSpeaker:\nEugenia Cheng (School of Art Institute of Chicago) joined by Peter Wesoloski\n\n\nTitle:\nThe Sum of the Score: Math in Music\n\n\nDate (JST):\nThu\, Apr 10\, 2025\, 16:00 – 17:30\n\n\nPlace:\nMedia Hall in Kashiwa Library\n\n\nAbstract:\nMath and music are often said to be related\, but does this go any deeper than the fact that they both involve counting? In this lively hybrid of talk and concert\, mathematician and pianist Eugenia Cheng uncovers mathematical structures in some of her favourite pieces of classical music. Joined by baritone Peter Wesoloski\, she will perform works by Bach\, Schubert\, Schumann\, Brahms\, Wagner\, Ravel\, Debussy and Vaughan Williams. The music will be interspersed with discussion of a wide range mathematical concepts in the music including lowest common multiples\, prime numbers\, fractions\, fractals\, braids and more.\n\n\nRemarks:\nThe venue is Media Hall\, located in Kashiwa Library on the Kashiwa Campus.

SUMMARY:"A Night of Music and Mathematics" Talk\, University of Nebraska Omaha
DESCRIPTION:from the event website: \nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nDr Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician\, educator\, author\, public speaker\, columnist\, concert pianist\, composer and artist. She is Scientist In Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She won tenure in Pure Mathematics at the University of Sheffield\, UK and is now Honorary Visiting Fellow at City\, University of London. She has previously taught at the Universities of Cambridge\, Chicago and Nice and holds a PhD in pure mathematics from the University of Cambridge. Alongside her research in Category Theory and undergraduate teaching her aim is to rid the world of “math phobia”.  Her first popular math book\, How to Bake Pi\, was published by Profile (UK)/Basic Books (US) in 2015 to widespread acclaim including from the New York Times\, National Geographic\, Scientific American\, and she was interviewed around the world including on the BBC\, NPR and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Eugenia was an early pioneer of math on YouTube and her videos have been viewed around 15 million times to date. Her next popular math book\, Beyond Infinity was published in 2017 and was shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize 2017\, and The Art of Logic was published by Profile and Basic Books in 2018\, and “x + y : A Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender” in 2020. She also writes the Everyday Math column for the Wall Street Journal\, and has completed mathematical art commissions for Hotel EMC2\, 6018 North\, the Lubeznik Center and the Cultural Center\, Chicago. She is the founder of the Liederstube\, an intimate oasis for art song based in Chicago. As a composer she has been commissioned by GRAMMY nominated soprano Laura Strickling and is one of the composers for the Lynx Amplify series\, setting work by autistic poets who are primarily non-speaking. \nEugenia’s has also written two children’s books\, “Molly and the Mathematical Mysteries” and “Bake Infinite Pie with x+y“. “The Joy of Abstraction: A Exploration of Math\, Category theory\, and Life” (Cambridge University Press) came out in 2022\, and her latest book is “Is Math Real? How simple questions lead us to mathematics’ deepest truths” published by Profile/Basic in 2023.
