EVENT DESCRIPTION:
You are invited to the Fleet Science Center for this special event in partnership with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) featuring Dr. Tadashi Tokieda, professor of mathematics at Stanford University. Dr. Tokieda is one of the world's most distinguished disseminators of mathematics and all his talks and lectures are filled with fun demonstrations (recommended for children age 9+).

Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, we will explore a variety of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry to nonlinear elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami. Much of the lecture consists of table-top demos, which you can try later with friends and family.

So, take a sheet of paper. . .


Bio:

Dr. Tadashi Tokieda grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical philologist in France, before switching quite late to mathematics and physics. He is currently a professor of mathematics at Stanford; previously he worked in at the University of Cambridge (UK) for many years. He was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Fellow in 2013–2014 at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.  He is also one of the world's most distinguished disseminators of mathematics.
