John Baez (Mar 14 2021 at 18:13):I'm giving a talk in the Topos Institute Colloquium, modestly titled "Mathematics in the 21st Century", on Thursday March 25, 2021 at 18:00 UTC. I believe that's 11:00 am Pacific Time - in any event, that's when I'll actually start. :upside_down:
As usual for them it'll be broadcast live on Zoom and also on YouTube, where only Zoom lets you ask questions. The password for Zoom is the fifth Fermat prime.
Mathematics in the 21st Century
Abstract. The climate crisis is part of a bigger transformation in which humanity realizes that the Earth is a finite system and that no physical quantity can grow exponentially forever. This transformation may affect mathematics — and be affected by it — just as dramatically as the agricultural and industrial revolutions. After a review of the problems, we discuss how mathematicians can help make this transformation a bit easier, and some ways in which mathematics may change.
