Talk
What is mathematical reality? Does it really exist? And do numbers actually exist? Mathematician Walter van Suijlekom looks at reality through philosophical lenses, using poetry and Mandelbrot sets – endless mathematical figures that are so mesmerisingly beautiful that you can look at them forever.
The spoken language is Dutch.
