DESCRIPTION:G.H. Hardy published his Mathematician's Apology in 1940.  Sev
 enty-five years later\, it has lost none of its hold on the imaginations o
 f its readers\, especially future mathematicians or those who have never k
 nown mathematics from the inside.  But do mathematicians recognize ourselv
 es in the image it projects?  Do we still understand what Hardy had in min
 d when he said "real mathematicsmust be justified as arts if it can be jus
 tified as all?" And why do we feel compelled to "justify" mathematics\, an
 yway?\n\nThese are a few of the questions explored in Michael Harris's new
  book\, entitled\nMathematics without Apologies.  Harris will be presentin
 g his book at the Isaac Newton Institute\, Cambridge.\n\n
