LOCATION:Hermann's Jazz Club :: 753 View Street Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Lecture/discussion by Dr. Reinhard Illner (University of Victoria, Department of Mathematics and Statistics).</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Is Mathematics true? It sounds a ridiculous question, but I will show a few examples (some of which include the digits of pi) which show that the matter deserves discussion. There is a lot of history behind it.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Mathematics is all good, bad and useful. Everybody could come up with examples. I'll challenge the audience to provide some and show some myself.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Mathematics is beautiful. I believe that its beauty is easy to see and will try to convince the audience.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>The digits of PI arise in many likely and unlikely places. I will show this (I have a movie) and try to explain why this is so.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Finally, I will show "the most beautiful" equation of all (the Boltzmann equation) and talk about what is has to do with the arrow of time.</p>=0D=0A=
