VMath Special Productions and Other Events
In addition to recording the lectures at workshops, MSRI undertakes
some special productions, usually with higher production values, for
wider audiences. The first series of these productions to have
begun is New Horizons in Undergraduate Mathematics. These videos will
showcase great lecturers speaking on topics from current research that
are both important, accessible and ready to enter the
undergraduate curriculum.
The very first production in the New Horizons series is a pair of
lectures on Gröbner Bases, by Bernd Sturmfels, of UC Berkeley. We
anticipate future lectures on algebraic topology and its applications
(Gunnar Carlsson, of Stanford) and Hyperbolic Geometry (Colin Adams,
Williams). The New Horizons Series has been started through a generous
grant from William Randolph Hearst III.
There will also be special productions about the philosophy and art
of running a math circle featuring the organizers of the Cambridge
Math Circle and the Berkeley Math Circle. The Mathematical
Circle productions are funded by a generous grant from the Akamai Foundation.
This page also contains links to special events and lectures that are not part of any Programs or Workshops.
