In 1015 Evans Hall 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Ask the Mathematician Table This is the place to get answers to everything you always wanted to know about mathematics but couldn't find anyone to ask. Professor George Bergman In Evans Hall First Floor Lobby 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Meet Current Math Students The Math Undergraduate Student Association (MUSA) is the beating heart of the undergraduate math community (just ask its members!). Meet MUSA members and hear their perspectives and experiences as part of the top math department in the country. Play games, win prizes, and take home a souvenir from the T-shirt sale. In 1015 Evans Hall 9:30 am - 4:00 pm Impossibility in Mathematics Some problems can be solved, some problems are unsolvable, and some are impossible. Find out if you can prove something is impossible. Professor Robin Hartshorne In 60 Evans Hall 11:00 am - 11:45 am Mathematical Game Theory Mathematical game theory finds applications in areas as diverse as economics, biology, and computer science. Learn how some games can give rise to some beautiful mathematics, while others can be related to chaos and infinity. Professor Jan Reimann In 60 Evans Hall 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm These events are sponsored by the Department of Mathematics, Center for Pure & Applied Mathematics (CPAM), Mathematics Library, and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). |
