Mathematics and literature: unexpected connections

On 24 September 2026, CaixaForum Valencia presents Hi havia una vegada, a discussion between Sarah Hart, mathematician and the first woman to hold the Geometry Chair at Gresham College (London), and Berta García Faet, poet and writer. Together, they will explore how mathematics and literature—two seemingly opposite disciplines—share tools like logic games, calculations, rhymes, and anagrams.

The talk will focus on concrete examples, such as the "riddles" in Alice in Wonderland, to illustrate these connections. While the duration has not been specified, these events typically last between 60 and 90 minutes.

General admission costs €6. For more details on timings or access, check the CaixaForum Valencia page.
