Math Encounters: "Navigating with Golden Rotations" with Peter Sarnak on November 3, 2021

Join Princeton University Professor of Mathematics Peter Sarnak in an exploration of some of the subtle features enjoyed by rotations in two- and three-dimensional space, from paradoxical decompositions to optimally efficient universal quantum gates. Special introduction by Dr. Terrence Blackman, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Medgar Evers College, CUNY.

Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics.
