DESCRIPTION:Eine vorherige Anmeldung ist erforderlich. / Registration is n
 ecessary.\nEvent website with registration\nTalk: What we talk about when
  we talk about mathLillian Pierce\n Zusammenfassung:In 1864\, the mathemat
 ician J. J. Sylvester wrote: "May not Music be described as the Mathematic
 s of the sense\, Mathematics as Music of the reason?...Music the dream\, M
 athematics the working life.”  While music and math tend to be linked i
 n the popular imagination\, music is notably easy to share with an audienc
 e\, while math is notably not. In this talk\, we will address an unusual q
 uestion: What does it feel like to do math? Can we share the feeling of th
 e dream without using the technical language of the working life? In fact\
 , the experience of doing mathematics probably feels different to each of 
 us. Math is famous for being abstract\, and each of us develops a way to r
 epresent those abstractions in our own head. Can we describe what our non-
 symbolic internal processes are? Can we see some universal patterns in how
  we feel as we do math? We will share an array of mathematical stories\, t
 o study what mathematics does for us\, and what we do when we engage with 
 it. (People of all ages are welcomed\; no mathematical background is assum
 ed.)\nMusic: Streichquartett des Gürzenich-Orchesters Köln\n\nhttps://ma
