Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Mathematics Colloquium, Olin 101
(Academic)

Description: |
Dr. Anne Catlla will give a talk titled, "How Mathematicians Can Detect Gerrymandering". In recent years, mathematicians have found themselves invited into a new room ? the courtroom. As lawyers and judges attempt to answer the question of how much gerrymandering is too much gerrymandering, mathematicians have stepped up with tools based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, random walks, and statistics. In this talk, we will examine three mathematical tools that have appeared in recent gerrymandering court cases: the efficiency gap and two outlier analyses. For each of these techniques, we will see how the approach works in light of certain democratic values and how each has been received by the courts, and we will delve more deeply into the mathematics of the random walk analysis. There will be a reception from 2:30-3:00 pm in Olin 204, followed by the talk from 3:00-4:00 pm in Olin 101.

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.
