#  Picture language program  

 



 **Time:** June 20 (Wednesday) 15:00-16:00

 **Place:** N109

 **Speaker:** Zhengwei Liu (Harvard University)

 **Title:** Picture language program

 **Abstract:** We discuss the appearance of pictures in mathematics. We emphasize a bi-directional process between picture language and mathematical concepts: abstraction and simulation. This provides a program to understand different subjects, using virtual and real mathematical concepts simulated by pictures.
