See How the Disorderly Helps Order Our Lives at March Science Bag

MILWAUKEE -- "Randomness" and "chaos" sound more like words that describe a free-for-all than rules involved in problem-solving. "These principles imply uncertainty and disorder," admits Richard O'Malley, professor of mathematical sciences. And yet, the human brain employs a chaotic process to arrive at answers.

Join O'Malley to explore more examples of disorder helping us to control our everyday lives at the March Science Bag presentation, "From Randomness to Chaos: Math All Around Us," at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The presentation takes place on Fridays, March 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29 at 8 p.m., and on Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m.

The Science Bag attracts a mixed audience of adults, college students and kids as young as 5, proving that science is both functional and fun.

All presentations are held in room 137 of the Physics Building, 1900 E. Kenwood Blvd. Shows last about an hour and are free and open to the public. The series is quite popular, so arrive early to get a seat. Call 414-229-4452 for more information.
