A Spiritual Side to Mathematics? -- Pat McKeague

What if we were able to describe aspects of the spiritual experience via mathematics? Would we then also discover the same predictive power in the equations that physicists see? Might not the math help point us in the right direction for our own spiritual exploration? You will judge for yourself. We start with a simple sequence of numbers and end with fractals and chaos. Along the way we meet philosophers and mathematicians from Pythagoras and Fibonacci, to Pascal and Stephen Hawking. If you like mathematics, this talk is for you. If you dislike mathematics, this talk is especially for you.

Pat McKeague has a bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics. He has been active in mathematics education for over 30 years. He has written 16 textbooks. Pat has given presentations at numerous mathematics conferences around the country. He is the recipient of the American Mathematics Association for Two-Year Colleges Presidential Award, for his service to the two-year college mathematics community. Recently, he started XYZ Textbooks, to lower the cost of mathematics textbooks for college students.
