DESCRIPTION:G.H. Hardy published his Mathematician's Apology i
 n 1940.  Seventy-five years later\, it has lost no
 ne of its hold on the imaginations of its readers\
 , especially future mathematicians or those who ha
 ve never known mathematics from the inside.  But d
 o mathematicians recognize ourselves in the image 
 it projects?  Do we still understand what Hardy ha
 d in mind when he said "real mathematicsmust be ju
 stified as arts if it can be justified as all?" An
 d why do we feel compelled to "justify" mathematic
 s\, anyway?\n\nThese are a few of the questions ex
 plored in Michael Harris's new book\, entitled\nMa
 thematics without Apologies.  Harris will be prese
 nting his book at the Isaac Newton Institute\, Cam
 bridge.\n\n
