Faith and Science: Interactions

Professor Emeritus of Computer Science

1:07:11·2009·graduate level·Public Colloquium

A rare address from Donald Knuth, the seminal computer scientist, who delves into the complex and often intertwined relationship between scientific inquiry and religious faith, drawing from his personal reflections.

Professor Donald Knuth visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss the interactions between faith and science. This event took place on March 16, 2009, as part of the Authors@Google series.

In the fall of 1999, Donald was invited to give six public lectures at MIT on the general subject of relations between faith and science, during which he touched upon such topics as the interaction of randomization and religion, language translation, art and aesthetics, and the project. During his talk at Google, Donald will similarly be focusing on the interactions between faith and science.
