Love mathematics and books? Looking for a stimulating and fun discussion? Volumes, the MoMath book club, is just the thing for you. This discussion group is designed especially for those interested in mathematics and science and how they affect our lives. No prior math or science background is necessary.
Join MoMath's Distinguished Visiting Professor Ingrid Daubechies as she welcomes Manil Suri for an engaging conversation about The Big Bang of Numbers: How to Build the Universe Using Only Math.
Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing — no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space — could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent, richly illustrated, and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try.
