Ingrid Daubechies gives the Gauss Lecture of the German Mathematicians' Association. The German Mathematicians Association (DMV) and the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU) invite you to a lecture on the intersections between art and mathematics on Saturday, 24 October, at the Erbdrostenhof in Münster. The renowned mathematician Ingrid Daubechies from Duke University in North Carolina, USA, will speak under the title "Gauss in Münster - Mathematics Helping Art Conservation". In her lecture in English, she explains how mathematical algorithms help art historians and conservators to restore masterpieces from the 14th and 15th centuries. Examples include the wooden paintings on the Ghent Altar in the Belgian city of Ghent and altarpieces from the North Carolina Museum of Art, USA. The DMV's 26th public Gauss Lecture begins at 3.15 p.m. in the Festsaal of the Erbdrostenhof, Salzstraße 38. Before the main lecture by Ingrid Daubechies, Michael Röckner, Vice President of the DMV, and WWU Rector Ursula Nelles will welcome the audience.
