OTHER MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT EVENTS

When: November 16, 2026
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Where: Science Center Hall B
Address: 1 Oxford St, Cambridge 02138, United States

Harvard Book Store, the Harvard University Division of Science, the Harvard Library, the Harvard University Department of Mathematics, and the Harvard Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications welcome Terence Tao—Australian American professor of mathematics at UCLA, one of the most decorated and prolific mathematicians working today, and the acclaimed author of several academic books, including Solving Mathematical Problems and Additive Combinatorics—for a discussion of his new book, Six Math Essentials. He will be joined in conversation by Lauren K. Williams—Dwight Parker Robinson Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University.

Tickets are FREE but registration is required (more information here).

The presentation will take place in Hall B of the Harvard Science Center, located at 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge. While tickets to this event are sold out, we will have a stand-by line at the Cabot Library and and overflow room. If any seats are still open five minutes before the event begins, we will allow those in the stand-by line in on a first-come, first-served basis. Those in the standby line will likely be asked to view the event from the overflow room (Science Center Hall C) where we will be live streaming the event. If we happen to have room in the main event space we will fill it to capacity.
