Art and Mathematics: interconnected in manifold ways

Abstract: People who love mathematics talk about it in the same way others describe impactful art: beautiful, overwhelming, awe-inspiring. Mathematical algorithms help art historians and art conservators tease out information that can be essential to the understanding of an artwork's backstory, or to its conservation. Mathematical models help articulate or clarify intuitive insights. These are but a few of the many different ways in which mathematics and art are linked, and on which the presentation will touch, illustrated by examples drawn from the speaker's own work as well as that of others.
