Simplicity is as hard to pinpoint in mathematics as it is in art. Certainly both subjects have their great exemplars of the quality. But is there a definition of simplicity? A criterion? A measure? Or a sure path to it? These kinds of questions were in the air at a conference called Simplicity: Ideals of Practice in Mathematics and the Arts, which took place at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in early April 2013. Instead of trying to definitively answer such questions—surely a doomed prospect anyway—the participants gave in to the sheer joy of discussion in the stimulating atmosphere of each other’s company. The conference featured lectures and panel discussions by an eclectic group of twenty-five artists, architects, art historians, mathematicians, and mathematically inclined philosophers, as well as a film program. The audience included academics from nearby institutions and local artists; as the conference offered easy and free online registration, a random smattering of folks wandered in out of curiosity.
