February 9 - Arcadia University Colloquium Series

Breaking the Da Vinci Code
Monday, Feb. 9, 7:30 p.m. (Coffee Reception at 7 p.m.)
Grey Towers Castle Rose and Mirror Rooms

Dan Brown's international best seller The Da Vinci Code has spawned an industry of conspiracy theories, historical television programming, and a movie. Hidden within this tale are some startling claims about the ancient Greeks, classical art and mathematics. In this talk we explore a wide range of the mathematically related claims made by the author and shed some light on those claims which are true, and those which are fiction. Gordon Williams, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Ursinus College
