If you don’t believe there is beauty in math, science and writing, just ask Leonard Mlodinow.

Mlodinow, a scientist, television writer and book author, will read from his most recent book and talk about the multidimensional beauty of math, science and writing at 11:15 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6 at Santa Monica College. The free event will be held in the SMC Concert Hall, 1900 Pico Blvd. Mlodinow received his doctorate in mathematical physics from the University of California at Berkeley and worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the California Institute of Technology.

He also has been a writer for such TV shows as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Night Court and MacGyver. He is currently writing a novel and is working with renowned scientist Stephen Hawking on his new book, “A Briefer History of Time” (Random House), as well as a series of books on science and mathematics for young readers.

Mlodinow has published two books, “Euclid's Widow,” a history of geometry from parallel lines to hyperspace, and “Feynman’s Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and Life,” about his friendship with the late physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman at Caltech.

The lecture is sponsored by the SMC Associates, a private organization that raises funds for speakers and special events on campus. For information, call (310) 434-4003.
