SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium: Statistics in Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:Many basic objects in number theory\, such as prime numbers\, do not follow any regular patterns.  However\, they typically obey certain statistical laws – some of which are less obvious than others.  I will first discuss some aspects of the distribution of prime numbers\, explaining how they behave like random numbers in some ways but not others.  Then I will discuss the distribution of other key objects in number theory – elliptic curves and modular forms.\n\n\nSpeaker: Professor Kimball Martin\, Osaka Metropolitan University (Japan)\nRoom: Hill Auditorium (Barrows)\nTime: Snacks at 3pm\, Talk 3:15 – 4:05 pm.

SUMMARY:Wisdom without Science or Art: Phronēsis in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Greg Kirk (Northern Arizona University)\nIn Book Six of the Nicomachean Ethics\, Aristotle presents practical wisdom (phronēsis) as the intellectual virtue associated with the domain of action and deliberation. What is curious about practical wisdom is that it is the application of intellect\, according to Aristotle\, to a domain about which there is neither science nor art. This paper presents the domain of action as one in which the true – here understood as the wise choice of how to act – is an emergent property resulting from the combination of excellent character and astute observation of context\, admitting always of unique\, ephemeral choices. To act well – to live well – therefore requires one to be emotionally composed in a way that places one’s trust in cultivated insight. I use Aristotle’s account of what has come to be called the “practical syllogism” to illustrate this. \nPart of the 2026 Philosophy Colloquium Series.
