Location

Channel 13

Also at 2pm, 8pm (see Abstract for other times)

Csicsery intertwines for us a human story and a mathematical story. In Julia Robinson we find a mathematician who was a heroine in her own time and a role model for all time. It is a story of childhood, illness, love, marriage, disappointment, obsession, and triumph. It is filled with extraordinary instances of luck both good and bad Carol Wood in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
