Featuring pianist-engineer Elaine Chew, this innovative event will demonstrate mathematical principles in music through the performance of contemporary pieces, including the world premiere of Sudoku Variations by composer Tamar Diesendruck. The event will feature illustrations of the mathematical and computational analyses of the pieces and interactive discussion. Chew has produced and performed classical concerts throughout the world. As a pioneer building a career at the intersection of music and engineering, she has been awarded the prestigious NSF Early Career Award and Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering, the highest honor bestowed upon young scientists and engineers in the United States.
