Despite the French spelling,the Cafe Scientifique seems to be centered in Great Britain. I hope you Brits aren't planning to infect the good old US of A with rational thinking and factual evidence. It will never work here.
Do you have a mathematician yet?
Hi Graham,
Thanks for the comment. For now I think we're going to keep it to the sciences, although I can imagine talks from mathematicians addressing scientific problems. I hope you'll attend our meetings.
When did you get to S.U.?
Hi Mark,
I just finished my first year at SU. I hope to attend the C.S. next month, and I look forward to meeting you. Actually, I'd like to meet you in any case -- I've been trying to understand lately what string theorists are talking about when they talk about D-branes being the same things as matrix factorizations.
(Maybe we can have a Café Scientifique on the topic of whether mathematics is a science! We can make a debate of it -- I'll take the "pro" position.)
Hi Graham,
I'd be happy to chat, although I suspect I won't be much help with the string theory (I'll give it a shot though).
Mathematics a science huh? I love mathematics, my undergraduate degree is even in it, but unless it makes predictions that can be tested against data, I'd be on the "con" side. I wouldn't call anything axiomatic a science (not to say it isn't a) fascinating in its own right and b) incredibly useful to science.)
I'm in town all next week - drop me an email if you'd like to have a coffee or something.
I will visit this site frequently. Hope there will be more and more resources provided. online viagra bestellen ld50 of tylenol long term effects of xanax
