The first in our series of Taunton Talks this term will be held on Saturday of Second Week (21st October), at 12:00 pm at Grandpont House.
The talk will be given by Professor David Clayton, Provost of Pontifex University, and entitled ‘The Mathematics of Harmony and Proportion: A Cosmic Pattern for a Culture of Beauty.’ It may be of interest to any undergraduate or postgraduate students studying the philosophy of mathematics, though all are welcome. The Taunton talks, convened by Dr Paul Shrimpton, are intended to appeal to students who wish to engage in serious thinking beyond the confines of the tutorial and are motivated by the pursuit of truth.
There is a buffet lunch costing £5 after the talk. The number of lunch guests is restricted to 12 so to book a place and to be added to the mailing list please contact Alex Norris @email The address is Grandpont House, Abingdon Road, Oxford OX1 4LD (pictured).
