Explore More with TED Talks - Van Gogh and Mathematics

Learning should never stop! Keeping your mind active and open is key to overcoming fears, uncertainty, and self-doubt. One way I have found to learn and be exposed to various ideas is to listen to one or two TED Talks a week.

These videos, found on YouTube and TED Talks channel online, cover various topics, including business, knowledge, philosophy, and humor. There is a wide selection that is 5 minutes or less!

I randomly select topics as well as look for videos on items that interest me currently or intrigue me to want to explore more.

As a non-artist, I love visiting museums and art galleries. These experiences are invaluable. I visited the Seattle Art Museum’s “The Impressionists” and was once again captivated by Van Gogh. Several of his paintings are my favorites but I have always felt an attraction to “Starry Night” .



Recently I came across this excellent TED Talk Video that shows how Van Gogh’s art, during his struggling times, depicts the complicated mathematical explanation of turbulence. I hope you find it as interesting and intriguing as I did!
