About this event

’Re-Imagining Mathematics’’ is an attempt to re-think and re-discover the very ground and building blocks of the subject – to be found in nature, in patterns around us, in art, music, poetry and even community. Examples of such influences include the geometrical complexity of Islamic Art and even Galileo's mathematical explorations of a work of Literature – namely, Dante's inferno. Numbers are liberally found in the realm of worship; often specifically mentioned in sacred texts. It seems with the passage of time and with the onset of the technological age we have forgotten some of the spiritual roots of the subject. Therefore, here is an attempt to re-emphasise the spiritual dimensions of the subject: extant in ancient textbooks and literature, in religious doctrine and sacred geometry. For example, The number seven is mentioned in the Quran 28 times which itself is a multiple of seven. The 'basmala' or the phrase “bi-smi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm” is also linked to the number 786 which is itself a nearly perfect square of 28. The 'basmala' is the Islamic phrase that means “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,” and is recited before each chapter or surah of the Quran except for the ninth. Numerologically, the phrase adds up to 786 in the Abjadi system and has acquired special significance in folk Islam and near eastern folk magic (citation).Re-imagining Mathematics
