The Bridges Conferences, running annually since 1998, bring
together practicing mathematicians, scientists, artists, educators,
musicians, writers, computer scientists, sculptors, dancers, weavers,
and model builders in a lively atmosphere of exchange and mutual
encouragement. Important components of these conferences, in addition
to formal presentations, are hands-on workshops, gallery displays of
visual art, working sessions with artists who are crossing the
mathematics-arts boundaries, and musical/theatrical events in the
evenings.
The Bridges Pécs 2010 will be a full blown 4-day conference on Mathematics and its connections to Art, Music, and Science plus an Excursion Day. The 4-day conference will be comprised of a 3-day conference in the international annual series of Bridges Conferences and a 4th day devoted to the work and artistic influence of Hungarian artists and mathematicians.
