Description

Members of the community are invited to attend a public lecture that will explore how cooking can illuminate some basic mathematical principles. Michael Brenner, Glover Professor of Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics, Harvard University, and eminent researcher in materials and modeling, will explain and demonstrate the scientific principles that form the foundation of cooking: from the everyday to haute cuisine. The lecture will feature Mark Ladner, a 1990 graduate of Johnson & Wales University College of Culinary Arts and is now Executive Chef of the award-winning Del Posto Restaurant in New York City. Professor Brenner and Chef Ladner will demonstrate these mathematical principles through a fun and diverse tour of cooking demonstrations – from making fresh ricotta to blowing up marshmallows.
