Extra Credit Math talk by Kumar Murty

This was a really fascinating lecture to me. He talked about how the brain is more of a horizontally structured way of thinking instead of as vertical as mathematical thinking is. He brought up certain principles like the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle where math is not really able to reach it. He brought up the fact that some group was offering money for a good mathematical model of the brain. Then he ended his lecture by saying that in reality, maybe by studying the brain we could come up with a new "field" of mathematics that would function more similarly to how the brain functions. This idea was so cool to me and I really enjoyed this lecture.
