SUMMARY:Simplicity: Ideals of Practice in Mathemat
 ics and the Arts, New York, U.S.A.
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130403
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130405
LOCATION:New York, U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION:Lectures by and conversations among tw
 enty-five mathematicians, artists, art historians,
  philosophers, and architects together with screen
 ings of artist's films by Andy Goldsworthy (New Yo
 rk premiere), David Hammons, Richard Serra, Andy W
 arhol, and William Wegman.   To find "criteria of 
 simplicity" was the goal of David Hilbert's recent
 ly discovered twenty-fourth problem on his renowne
 d list of open problems given at the 1900 Internat
 ional Congress of Mathematics in Paris. At the sam
 e time, simplicity and economy of means are powerf
 ul impulses in the creation of artworks.   Recogni
 zing the aesthetic nature of Hilbert's question, t
 his conference aims to focus on criteria of simpli
 city in mathematics that are informed by perspecti
 ves from art and architecture, the philosophy and 
 history of mathematics, and current mathematical p
 ractice.   For more information and to register, p
