| | Where Math Meets the Cosmos |
 | | Jeffrey R. Weeks, mathematician, educator, and 1999 winner of a "genius grant" from the MacArthur Fellows Program, presented the Math, Science, Technology lecture to the Upper School on Thursday, April 22. |
 | | This question, Weeks told the audience, brings up the old argument that if the universe is finite, there must be an edge. |
 | | Weeks, author of scientific and general interest articles, computer software, and education materials on multidimensional finite space, has spent the last 17 years or so doing freelance research and developing teaching tools to help people think creatively about the shape of the universe. |
