To Dance is To Calculate



Science Fiction writer, math coach, and former ballerina Catherine Asaro discusses how Western classical dance is an obvious form of physics. She goes on to talk about the math of classical music as well. All very rooted in"The Great Western Traditions," this interview still works to show how the division between art, science, and math is a false one that breeds gender bias and forecloses innovation.

This clip is an excerpt of a 20 minute interview for the Big Think. You may watch the entire video on their site.
