On Thursday, Sept. 26, at 6:30 p.m. popular lecturer Dick Brown presents an audio-visual adventure linking the art of M. C. Escher with the music of Bach, Broadway and the Beach Boys at the Conway Public Library. Brown taught mathematics at Phillips Exeter Academy for 35 years and is known for making the subject entertaining and relevant to life outside the classroom. He is the author of many math books, some of which have been used at Kennett. At a White House ceremony in 1989 Brown received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching. In his program at the Conway Library he will illustrate the similarities in the underlying structure of Escher's graphic art and Bach's canons and fugues. The structure is repeated in Bartok, Broadway and even the Beach Boys. The program is free and open to the public.
