Marcus Du Sautoy investigates the writings of Argentine
master, Jorge Luis Borges, seeking its mathematical underpinnings. Looking both
at the life of the man and his texts, specifically ‘The Library of Babel’
Professor Du Sautoy shows how this singular author has found a way to describe
the shape of an infinite universe that eerily mirrors the thinking of modern
mathematicians.
This is a short extract from a Gresham Lecture. You can

Marcus Du Sautoy OBE is the Simonyi Professor for the Public
Understanding of Science and a Professor of Mathematics at the University of
Oxford and he’s interested in how Maths and the Arts work together and how
similar processes underlie them.
