Inaburra Founders Lecture 2024 - Mathematics For Human Flourishing

Inaburra Founders Lecture 2024
Speaker - Francis Su

For Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. In this Founders Lecture, he will show that mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most importantly, of the heart. Su offers an inclusive vision of what mathematics is, who it is for, and how it relates to the dignity of being human.

Su’s book, Mathematics for Human Flourishing, winner of the 2021 Euler Book Prize and translated into eight languages has been termed “perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time”.
