In reference to your suggestion to highlight some of my publications, I’d like to mention the three books included in my bio: Abel’s Proof: A Search for the Meaning of Mathematical Unsolvability, Polyphonic Minds: Music of the Hemispheres, and Music and the Making of Modern Science. There is also a dialogue Barry Mazur (also on the program) and I wrote, attached. Please let me know if you need further information, links, etc. My website is peterpesic.com.
