DESCRIPTION:Join Professor John D Barrow to explore a range of links betwe
 en mathematics and some of the arts: identify Dali's use of 4-d geometry\,
  ask if fractals distinguish abstract art works\, plan the subterranean Tu
 nnel of Eupalinos in 520BC\, find the best place to view a statue\, and ca
 lculate the distance to the horizon. We will discover how smooth curves in
 formed architecture\, the creation of text fonts\, and Henry Moore's strin
 ged sculptures. Finally\, we look at the beginnings of the probabilistic a
 nalysis of literary texts.\n\nThis talk forms part of the 2015 Cambridge S
 cience Festival and is aimed at the general public (ages 15+).\n\nThe even
 t is free but admission is by ticket only: book tickets online via http://
