Alain Connes, the great mathematician and mathematical physicist (winner of the Fields medal, inventor of non-commutative geometry), is giving a talk tomorrow in the physics department on "Quanta of Geometry". (See attached flyer.) Connes is not only one of the greatest living mathematicians, but he is an extraordinarily lively, lucid and engaging speaker. (He is the guy who told me the best way to listen to talks about black holes.) I strongly urge everyone to go. It should be a fascinating talk. Erik
