EXPLORING MATHEMATICS, MUSIC AND LITERATURE

FOLLOWED BY A RECEPTION

Are you curious about the relations between the arts and the sciences?

Mathematics and music, like music and poetry, have often been compared to one another, but what can that mean for mathematicians, composers, poets and musicians, for their readers and their listeners?

Are the same intellectual and creative processes involved in doing mathematics, in composing and interpreting music, and in writing and reading a novel or a poem?

Join Gemma Moss, Lecturer in English at Birmingham City University, in conversation with Emily Howard, composer and director of PRiSM, the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), to explore the fascinating and diverse relations between music, mathematics and literature.
