SUMMARY:Footprints on Black Mountain: science and the subtlety of infl
uence\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Marjorie Senechal\, Mathemat
ics and History of Science and Technology\, Smith College
DESCRIPTION:When C. P. Snow decried the "two cultures" in 1959\, he n
ot only named a problem\, he created one. For better or worse\, the h
umanities and sciences have been cast through his prism ever since. B
ut\, in the immortal words of Poul Anderson\, "I have yet to see a pro
blem\, no matter how complicated\, that if you look at it in the right
way\, does not become still more complicated." In that spirit\, we w
ill look at the legendary\, every-more-celebrated crucible of the arts
\, Black Mountain College\, through the stories of several scientist
s who taught there. And through the eyes of someone (me) who grew up i
n a curiously similar milieu\, in that era.
