Math Encounters: "Of Tubes and Lips: Resonance and Superposition" with Dan Boye, June 7, 2023
Expression through words and songs are at the heart of human communication. How do the tubes and lips in our head and neck coordinate vocal expressions ranging from raucous to sublime? And how far can mathematics go towards modeling the subtleties of the human voice? Join Dan Boye, the Paul B. Freeland Professor of Physics at Davidson College, at June's Math Encounters.
Special introduction by Bryan Perri, musical director for Wicked, Jagged Little Pill, and Almost Famous.
Encounters is MoMath’s popular free public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, produced with support from the Simons Foundation. For further information, call the National Museum of Mathematics at 212-542-0566 or email mathencounters@momath.org.
