DESCRIPTION:What are mathematical models and what is the role of mathematical thinking 
 in how we understand the physical world? Do we live in a universe having 
 more than three spatial dimensions? What might we learn about nature and 
 reality from experiments performed in the giant new "atom smasher" built in 
 Europe? Dr. Matilde Marcolli will appear at Revolution Books for a 
 discussion of the role of mathematical thinking in our understanding of 
 reality and how experiments in the new CERN "atom smasher" may provide us 
 with insights into some of the deepest questions about the universe.She 
 will also discuss important political issues relating to the popularization 
 of science. Dr. Marcolli is a professor of mathematics in the Division of 
 Mathematics,Physics,and Astronomy at  the California Institute of 
 Techology(Caltech). She is currently on an extended visit to the 
 Mathematical  Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley.\nThis event is for a 
 general audience.\n
