Where: Sunnyside Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, 1049 Bank Street, Ottawa

Mingarelli will explore how da Vinci spent close to 20 years trying to “square the circle” and solve mathematical problems that, today, are known to be unsolvable.
The Science Café series is organized by the Faculty of Science at Carleton to discuss relevant issues facing our society and how science can help solve real-world problems. Meet some of our award-winning faculty members and graduate students as they share their excitement about science with the community.
