Throughout the 20-21 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a lecture series on literature in the mathematical sciences, with a focus on significant developments in mathematics that have influenced the discipline, and the lifetime accomplishments of significant scholars. Talks will take place throughout the semester. All talks will take place virtually.
Written articles will accompany each lecture in this series and be available as part of the publication “The Literature and History of Mathematical Science“
Speaker: Vyacheslav V. Shokurov (Johns Hopkins University)
