Amir Aczel: The Roots of Numbers
(READING) Wed Jan 21, Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave
Where did numbers come from? Have you ever sat down and really thought about how and when and where humans came up with numbers? Amir Aczel traveled the globe looking for answers, which led him to write a book called Finding Zero: A Mathematician’s Odyssey to Uncover the Origins of Numbers. Tonight, he talks about his adventures and findings (apparently you’ll never guess where he found the original zero).
Nearby snack: For cake, pie, sandwiches, coffee, or soup, Sugar Bakery & Cafe (1014 Madison St) is right up the street and lives up to its name. Try a lemon tart or a fudge brownie…
