Some mathematicians have a tendency to obsess on obscure abstraction, toil in isolation, and die young and/or in very unpleasant ways. From Hippasus of Metapontum to Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing, tonight’s illustrated talk will present a brief history of some of these world-changers and brain-breakers, how they changed human thought, and how, for their troubles, the world drove them to the eternal asymptote.

Michael Carlisle is Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Baruch College. He is currently developing games and comics for unorthodox mathematics, and his research on low-dimensional random walks has been described as “how long it takes to cover a donut with icing”.
