One activity is characterized by rigor, the other by freedom. It was not without reason that Novalis aptly remarked: &#8220;The world must be romanticized,&#8221; but also &#8220;All sciences should therefore become mathematics&#8221;\u2014poetry and mathematics as two methods of representing the world. Epic or world formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But isn&#8217;t that too simplistic? How can mathematics and poetry be connected in the 21st century? Poet Oswald Egger and mathematician Ralph Kaufmann engage in this dialogue. As a basis for the following discussion, they approach the topic from different angles and address this fragmented connection from the perspective of their respective practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The talk will be moderated by Christian Suhm, the SecretaryGeneral of HIAS, who studied both, philosophy and physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the event, HADLEY\u2019s offers a set dinner menu for guests paying out of pocket\u2014a HADLEY\u2019s classic featuring fine cheese from Tyrolean mountain farmers, homemade ham, spreads, and delicious wood-fired bread from the FeuFou bakery.
