I recently saw the famous film director give a math-themed speech. The experience was, as he might put it, subliiiiiiime. Plus a new Inconspicuous News Roundup!
I don't know why, but in my mind's eye on first glance I read Whitey Herzog, and now I can't get my mind off of the former Cardinals skipper doing calculus in his jacket and sansabelt pants.
What a cool experience! I can't agree more about his voice, it is captivating. Not a huge math guy but if I'd been local I would not have been able to stay away!
i've fallen behind on my consumption of Inconspicuous Consumption content, but this morning's offering was irresistible. as a mathematician who has been a long time reader of UniWatch and an early adopter of IC, i want to say thank you for highlighting something near and dear to me in the way you did. if you enjoyed those moments half as much as i did, then you certainly got your money's worth. thanks for sharing this with us.

" if you enjoyed those moments half as much as i did, then you certainly got your money's worth." —> I sure did -- the event was free!
yeah, i read that part. but i hope you enjoyed it more than "it was free."
That Herzog event is the sort of thing that makes me wish I lived in New York City instead of a small city in Iowa.
I'm sure your location offers certain benefits that are unavailable to me here in NYC. Like everything else, it's a trade-off.
Amazing! Wish I could have been there. If you see the entire talk posted anywhere, please let me (us!) know.
