Description

The parallels between great mathematics and great rock music have been historically uncanny. In the end, for both to have meaningful engagement and resonance, only the quality of the content is important. Topics like algebra, number theory, math history, brute force thinking, and the beauty of mistakes can all be linked to and illuminated by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Blues/Jazz, Motorhead, and The Rolling Stones, respectively. Come and rock with the highest quality mathematics!
