'Simpsons,' 'Futurama' writers to share math jokes
2005
Overview
On Sunday, [Ken Keeler] and two other mathematical writers from the popular shows will share the inside scoop on many of those references at a free public forum at the University of California, Berkeley, sponsored by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes Archimedes Society. MSRI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to math research. Institute director David Eisenbud said the organization has sponsored several public forums exploring the interaction between math and popular culture, such as math and music or math in literature. Joining Keeler will be David X. Cohen, former Futurama executive producer and head writer, and Jeff Westbrook, Futurama and Simpsons writer. Cohen has a physics degree from Harvard and a masters degree in theoretical computer science from UC Berkeley. Westbrook has a computer science doctorate from Princeton University and has taught at Yale University and worked at AT&T Labs.
