Abstract:
All too often we see mathematics and the arts as two sides of the
science/humanities coin. In this talk we'll see a place in which the two
come naturally together in exciting new research. In today's world in
which almost all aspects of life are brought to the common medium of the
computer, it is now possible to quantify and extract the style of an
artist via computation. Examples are gleaned from the literary, visual,
and dance arts, and include applications to the problem of authentication.
Taken together this work reveals just how stylish math can be.
Math Matters lectures feature distinguished
mathematicians and
scientists who are also superb expositors able to illuminate
the role mathematics is playing in understanding our world and
shaping our lives. The lectures are aimed at a broad audience.
