Join the Honors Program for a lunch discussion on
“Intuition and Creativity in Mathematics”
“With so many rules and “right answers” to questions, is there room for intuition and creativity in mathematics? Thankfully, the right answer to that question is a resounding “YES!” We know this because mathematicians (including the speaker) experience it as they engage in the practice of mathematics. In this talk, I will offer some food for thought on the issue of exactly where intuition and creativity fit in the practice of mathematics, and why this is a philosophically significant problem.”
