The mathematics of high dimensions and its significance for artificial intelligence
Prof Dr Boris Vertman, Institute of Mathematics, University of Oldenburg
What does a thousand-dimensional sphere look like? The answer harbours many surprises. This is not a purely academic question, but also of fundamental importance for analysing large amounts of data in AI applications.
20:00-21:00
How does truth arise in mathematics? From Euclid to Banach-Tarski
M. Sc. Kiyan Naderi, Institute of Mathematics, University of Oldenburg
How does mathematics actually come about? How do we know that certain statements are true or false? Is maths invented or discovered? And what does maths have to do with the real world anyway? This lecture sheds light on the nature of maths, its function as a universal language and its relationship to reality. An exciting insight for anyone who wants to experience maths from a new perspective!
Venue: The Smart House Oldenburg, Schloßplatz 16, 26122 Oldenburg
