• Berkeley math institute celebrates 25 years

 

The SF Chronicle has a great article today about the Math Sciences Research Institute at UC Berkeley.

MSRI (pronounced locally as Misry) has a wonderful public outreach program and they make many of their seminars and talks public.

The MSRI website is http://www.msri.org/

And there's one really special event happening this Saturday (I plan to attend):

MSRI 25th Anniversary Special Event: Christopher Taylor in conversation with David Benson and Robert Osserman

Saturday, January 26, 2008
Pianist Christopher Taylor in conversation with David Benson, author of the book Music: A Mathematical Offering, and Robert Osserman, Special Projects Director at MSRI. The free public event will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in the Simons Auditorium, Chern Hall, at MSRI, located at 17 Gauss Way (near the intersection of Centennial Drive and Grizzly Peak Blvd.) in Berkeley. Presented in association with Cal Performances.

In celebration of MSRI's 25th Anniversary, a reception with Christopher Taylor and David Benson will follow the conversation event in the Institute's Atrium. The public is invited to attend.
