The first part of this lecture series is meant to illustrate the dictum that all suÿciently beautiful mathematical objects are connected. The two objects we choose to illustrate this are the icosahedron, the most subtle of the Platonic solids, and the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, often considered the most beautiful formulas in all of mathematics.

In view of the situation with the coronavirus the lecture on March 17 and for the immediate future will not take place. It will be resumed when the situation allows it, perhaps around April 20, which is the planned start of the summer semester. You will be informed as soon as this is known.
