SUMMARY:Expressive Means and Mathematical Conceptualization II - Ken Mande
 rs\, Pittsburgh
DTSTART:20140328T140000Z

CONTACT:Zach McKenzie
DESCRIPTION:Case studies bring out striking contributions\nof shifting amo
 ng expressive strategies while treating a given topic mathematically. Math
 ematics shapes special-purpose contents\, by the expressive means\nit depl
 oys (and avoids) in distinctive contexts (modes)\nespecially suited to cer
 tain aspects of problems. The intellectual power of mathematics resides no
 t only in rigorous proof but also in coordinating suitable modes to overal
 l purposes.\n\nThe first talk will present the general philosophical\npict
 ure\, with elementary examples. The second talk will\nconsider mathematica
 lly more advanced examples such as\ngroup representation theory and algebr
 aic number theory.
