*Mathematicians are known for using logic* and symbols and abstractions in
their work but, like other people, mathematicians are also storytellers.
Their work tells stories, too — stories of what is and of what might be. In
his 2022 Ulam lectures, Cornell University Professor Steven Strogatz will
describe how mathematicians have tried to make sense of motion and change,
of a world in never-ending flux. These are stories of intuition and
courage, grounded in rigor, humility, and awe. These lectures are
self-contained, and can be enjoyed together or separately.

Steven will be signing copies of his books in the Lensic at 6:30 pm, prior
to each lecture.


*Lecture 1: The Story of Calculus Tuesday, September 20, 7:30 pm
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8&id=67c22cf780&e=661e7b42f4>*
Everyone has heard of calculus, but why is it so important? In this story
of calculus, Strogatz illustrates the fantastic idea at the heart of
calculus — an idea that, in partnership with medicine, philosophy, science,
and technology, reshaped the course of civilization and helped make the
world modern. It is, Strogatz argues, one of the greatest-ever triumphs of
human creativity.


*Lecture 2: The Story of Sync Wednesday, September 21, 7:30 pm
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8&id=eaa53cb6e7&e=661e7b42f4>*
Every night along the tidal rivers of Malaysia, thousands of male fireflies
congregate in the mangrove trees and flash on and off in unison. Similarly
astonishing feats of synchronization occur throughout the natural and
technological world. In this story of sync, Strogatz describes how our
understanding of synchronization has evolved over the centuries and shares
exciting new results and unsolved problems about how the structure of a
network affects its tendency to get in sync..

is
the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell
University. After graduating from Princeton in 1980, Strogatz studied at

Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard and Boston
