Recording of Meet a Mathematician with Benson Farb

This is a recording of a live-streamed event that took place on Thursday, January 27, 2022.

Appropriate for all ages.

Did you ever wonder what a mathematician does all day?  Or what made someone decide to become a mathematician?  Or even, what a mathematician does for fun?  You may be surprised by some of the answers!  Join Steven Strogatz, MoMath's 2021-2022 Distinguished Visiting Professor for the Public Dissemination of Mathematics, as he brings diverse and talented guests to the MoMath stage to share their experiences, their stories, and their love of mathematics.

In January, meet Benson Farb.  Math professor at the University of Chicago.  While he's known for his work in group theory and topology, he's especially remarkable as a mentor, having advised 38 PhD students and more than 23 postdocs in the last 25 years.  Join us for a freewheeling conversation about Benson's approach to making mathematical discoveries and helping students reach their potential.
