New York Graduate Student Logic Conference
→ go to the Conference Website
The fourth New York Graduate Student Logic Conference, which will be held at the CUNY Graduate Center, located in midtown Manhattan, New York, on Thursday, April 18 and Friday April 19, 2013. The goal of this conference is to promote graduate education in logic by bringing together the best graduate students working in any part of the subject. Students will meet and hear talks by other students in logic, give talks on their own research or on their research area, and have the opportunity to interact with senior logicians. All interested members of the mathematical community are invited to attend.
Simplicity Conference

Simplicity: Ideals of Practice in Mathematics & the Arts
A conference at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, April 3–5, 2013
Lectures by and conversations among twenty-five mathematicians, artists, art historians, philosophers, and architects, accompanied by a program of artist’s films.
To find “criteria of simplicity” was the goal of David Hilbert’s recently discovered twenty-fourth problem on his renowned list of open problems given at the 1900 International Congress of Mathematics in Paris. At the same time, simplicity and economy of means are powerful impulses in the creation of artworks.
Recognizing the aesthetic nature of Hilbert’s question, this conference aims to focus on criteria of simplicity in mathematics that are informed by perspectives from art and architecture, the philosophy and history of mathematics, and current mathematical practice. Each day of this conference will feature talks and roundtable discussions interspersed by screenings of films by artists.
Invited participants:
Andrew Arana, Philosophy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Rachael DeLue, Art & Archaeology, Princeton University
