Abstract
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY saw an upheaval in our understanding of the mechanics of the universe and the foundations of mathematics. This lecture looks at two aspects of strange modern mathematics with a clear geometrical interpretation and the subsequent lecture looks at aspects of our understanding of the physical universe as modified by Einstein’s theories of relativity.
