This year's Selig Brodetsky Memorial Lecture at the University of Leeds will be delivered by Professor Geoffrey Cantor (Emeritus), who will speak on "Darwin among the Jews." The lecture will be delivered on Monday 24 May at 6 pm in the Yorkshire Bank Lecture Theatre, Leeds University Business School. It will be followed by a reception.
This series of annual lectures was established in memory of Selig Brodetsky (1888-1954), who occupied the Chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds from 1924 to 1948. Following Brodetsky's death in 1954 a number of his friends and admirers founded the series of memorial lectures that bear his name. Each year a lecture is delivered that addresses some aspect of either Jewish studies or mathematics.
The lectures are organized by the Centre for Jewish Studies, in collaboration with the Centre for History and Philosophy of Science and the School of Mathematics.
