Title: Examples of Duality in Mathematics 

Abstract: Vector and dual vector, matrix and transpose, covariant and contravariant.
Time and frequency, position and momentum, temperature and entropy.  Maths (and physics)
are full of "dual" concepts.  This talk will show some examples of this duality, and
draw some connections between them.
