For Edward Frenkel, mathematics is filled with elegance and beauty, just like art, music and poetry. And just like those traditionally artistic endeavors, mathematics is a magic universe, full of infinite possibilities. Contrary to what most of us would expect, even in mathematics, the most cerebral of subjects, he says, true breakthroughs are made by putting aside what we think we know and following our intuition and imagination. Thus, mathematics sets forth its important, and still largely untapped, spiritual function — as a portal to the Self. Join Edward Frenkel as he explores the axis of knowledge and imagination and the relationship between the mind and the heart. Even the least mathematically inclined among us are bound to be touched by his passion, wisdom and wit.
