[cmath] 2017 Keyfitz Lecture in Mathematics and the Social Sciences

[Malgosia Ip]

The Fields Institute is pleased to host the 2017 Keyfitz Lecture in
Mathematics and the Social Sciences on May 25, 2017 at 6 pm. The event will
be held in room 230 of the Fields Institute (222 College Street, Toronto,
ON).

 

This year's presentation "Insights Into Human Survival" will be delivered by
Dr. Noreen Goldman from Princeton University. 

 

Why do never-married persons typically die earlier than their married
counterparts? 

 

Why do Latinos in the US live longer than non-Latino whites despite having
lower education, lower income, and poorer access to healthcare?

 

Inspired by the simple, yet elegant, mathematical models of Nathan Keyfitz,
Goldman will describe her work using basic mathematical and statistical
tools to understand the, sometimes surprising, societal inequalities in
survival.

 

We hope you can join us!

 

Kind Regards,
