Come to a ten-dimensional pub and sample a fundamental beer loop - yes it’s Maths in the Pub. Math is all around us - you will never think about the space around you the same way again.

There’s poems, songs, even shoelaces - MC Dr Phil Dooley will guide you through a entertaining and mind boggling evening in the Relaxed café environment of Smith’s Alternative, with snacks and beverages close at hand.

The Line Up

When you stir your coffee at least one point ends up where it started, says Ivo Vekemans. It’s to do with loops, the fundamental group of a space, and he’ll prove it with poetry.

Mark Bugden doesn’t want to lose his marbles, so he’s putting them in a box. But the box is 10-dimensional! How many can he fit?

Asilata Bapat will show you how not to hang up pictures on your wall, and why one plus one is sometimes zero. And how all of this relates to the shape of space... who would have thought things could get so loopy out there?"

Joan Licata says your shoelaces aren't knotted, but your DNA is.

Cate Evered is going to talk about the maths of your office.

Maths in the Pub is FREE ENTRY thanks to Inspiring Australia and ANU Mathematical Science Institute!
