SUMMARY:APL COLLOQUIUM
DESCRIPTION:  Is God A Mathematician  Mario Livio\, Space Telescope Sc
	ience Institute For centuries\, mathematical theories have proven unca
	nnily accurate at describing - and predicting - the physical world. Wh
	at is it that gives mathematics such powers I will thoroughly review t
	his question in Is God A Mathematician (a talk based on my recently pu
	blished popular book). The talk will span such fields as mathematics\,
	 cosmology\, physics\, and the cognitive sciences\, and will attempt t
	o offer an accessible and lively account of the ideas of some of the g
	reatest mathematicians and scientists in history\, from Archimedes to 
	Galileo and Descartes\, and from Newton to Hilbert and Gödel\, on up t
	o the present day. Along the way I will discuss another question with 
	which mathematicians\, philosophers\, and neuroscientists have struggl
	ed for centuries: Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered\n L
