Please let us know if you will attend:
Come and discover mathematics you can listen to, in a mathematical exploration of rhythm through a broad selection of musical genres - including  classical, rock, metal, alt, rap, goth, jazz, folk. We then look further as repeating rhythms arise illustrated by calendar construction, to never ending chess,, to particle accelerators and origami.  

You do not need to have any musical or mathematical knowledge - but come prepared to tap and beat along as our on-stage drummer demonstrates mathematical principles.

When: - Tuesday 28 November 
Time: 5.30pm - 6.30pm followed by refreshments 
Where: Circular Lecture Theatre La Trobe University Bendigo Campus 
Professor Marcel Jackson
Marcel Jackson grew up in Hobart, completing a PhD in the field of Semigroup there in 1999.  In mid 2000 he commenced as a lecturer at La Trobe University, then taking a range of academic roles including Australian Research Council Future Fellow.  He is currently Professor of Pure Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the Associate Dean for Research and Industry Engagement at La Trobe University’s School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences.  His research interests cover a range of mathematical areas, but remain grounded in algebra and its interactions with logic, computer science and combinatorics. Marcel also finds time to enjoy casual climbing, running, gardening, cooking, drawing and music to complement his mathematical interests.
