Title: Writing About Math for the New York Times
Speaker: Steven Strogatz, Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics, Cornell University
Abstract: In the spring of 2010, Steven Strogatz wrote a 15-part series on the elements of math, from basic to baffling, for the New York Times. To his surprise - and his editor's - each piece climbed the most emailed list and elicited hundreds of appreciative comments. In this talk Prof. Strogatz will describe his adventures in bringing math to the masses, and will share the lessons he learned about what works… and what does not.
