La Trobe University is proud to present the 25th GS Watson Public Lecture.

This year’s lecture explores the life and ideas of John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. While Keynes is best known for his contributions to economics, fewer people know that he began his academic life in mathematics, particularly probability theory.

Presented by Emeritus Professor Terrance Mills, the lecture will examine Keynes’ intellectual journey, his work on probability and the continuing relevance of his ideas today. The lecture will also uncover an intriguing Bendigo connection.

This free public event welcomes members of the community, students, staff and anyone with an interest in economics, mathematics, history or public ideas.

Guest speaker

• Professor Terrance Mills Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, La Trobe University

Professor Mills has written extensively on the history of probability and its applications.

Key themes
• John Maynard Keynes’ life and legacy
• Probability, mathematics and economics
• Historical perspectives on economic thought
• A surprising Bendigo connection to Keynes’ story

The lecture will run from 5.30pm – 6.30pm, with refreshments to follow.
