The Sunflower, the Dancer, and the Vanishing Point

What do dance, music, and mathematics have in common? Find out at this year's Duncan Buell Everything is Mathematics Lecture, an annual event celebrating mathematics at the University of Arizona. In partnership with Ballet Tucson and the U of A School of Music, Professor Patrick Shipman will take us from the spiral of a sunflower to a painter's vanishing point — and to a truth the dancing body has always carried.

RSVP- RSVPs are appreciated but not required—they'll allow us to plan for refreshments and ensure capacity is good, something like this.
