Night in the Library, BPL's overnight festival of ideas, invites you to talks, panels, workshops, and performances that celebrate the free flow of ideas in the company of others.
For the program’s 10th edition, Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics will explore truths, proofs and other paradoxes. Math may feel remote, if not incomprehensible, to many. Yet it is a fundamental element in all components of our lives, underpinning everything from science and the natural world to architecture, sports, fashion, music, and technology. Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics is supported by the Simons Foundation and is part of its “Infinite Sums” initiative.
