LTT: Paolo Palmieri
November 12, 2019 @ 11:05 am - 12:00 pm EST
Baroque Mathematics
Paolo Palmieri, HPS
University of Pittsburgh
Abstract: In this talk I conjure, or evoke by supernatural power, or jugglery, the emergence of early modern calculus, the geometry of indivisibles, in confrontation with the ghost of Archimedes, the wonders of Baroque aesthetics, rhetoric, and the estranging creative power of extenuated metaphor.
