DESCRIPTION:Math and music are often said to be related\, but does this go
  any deeper than the fact that they both involve counting? In this lively 
 hybrid of talk and concert\, mathemusicians Eugenia Cheng and Dave Kung un
 cover mathematical structures in some of their favorite pieces of Western 
 classical music. The presentation will be centred on – and sandwiched by
 ! – the sonata for violin and piano in G major by Brahms. This will be i
 nterspersed with music by Bach\, Debussy\, Chopin\, Elgar\, and Gounod\, a
 nd a discussion of a wide range mathematical concepts in the music includi
 ng least common multiples\, fractions\, the harmonic series\, symmetry\, s
 elf-reference\, and more. And how does a pool tube come into it? Come alon
 g to find out!\nGeneral admission tickets are free with a suggested donati
 on of $45 per ticket. Purchase a VIP ticket for $70 to get premium reserve
 d seating and access to an exclusive social hour after the talk with our s
 peaker over food and drink.\nEugenia Cheng is a mathematician\, educator\,
  author\, public speaker\, concert pianist\, artist and composer. She is S
 cientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, won 
 tenure in Pure Mathematics at the University in Sheffield\, and holds a Ph
 D in pure mathematics from the University of Cambridge. She was an early p
 ioneer of math on YouTube and has written nine popular math books includin
 g “Beyond Infinity” which was shortlisted for the Royal Society Scienc
 e Book Prize\, “Is Math Real?” which won the 2024 LA Times Book Prize 
 for Science and Technology. and two children’s books. She has given talk
 s and interviews around the world including for the BBC\, NPR\, and The La
 te Show with Stephen Colbert. She wrote the Everyday Math column for the W
 all Street Journal for seven years\, and has completed several art commiss
 ions and song commissions\, including one for a GRAMMY nominated album. He
 r most recent book is “Unequal: The math of when things do and don’t a
 dd up”.\nDr. Dave Kung has worked in the intersection of mathematics and
  equity his entire career. He currently serves as the Executive Director o
 f Transforming Post-Secondary Education in\nMathematics (TPSE-Math) and as
  a founding partner of the consulting group Math 4 the Future. Prior to th
 at\, he served as the Director of Policy at the UT Dana Center\, leading t
 he Launch Years Initiative that works with state teams to modernize math o
 ptions for students across the high school / higher ed transition. He has 
 directed MAA Project NExT\, served as a professor at St. Mary’s College 
 of Maryland\, authored a variety of articles and books\, produced two Grea
 t Courses lecture series\, and won the MAA’s highest award in college ma
 th teaching. He resides in the DC area\, coaching local high school teache
 rs\, as well as playing violin and running–never simultaneously.\nThis e
 vent is presented as a part of Math Out Loud\, SUMM’s new public lecture
  series designed to bring engaging mathematical ideas to life.
