The purpose of this seminar, which is supported by the Graduate Mathematics Association and Prof. Dana Bartošová, is simply to make mathematical research more accessible to undergrad and grad students. With this in mind, experts from different fields in mathematics and related disciplines (e.g., statistics, computer science, etc.) will talk about their research in “simple words” (i.e. a first year grad student should be able to understand most of a talk). Unlike a usual talk in which the speaker focuses on one specific paper/result/problem, our speakers would offer a panoramic overview of their research highlighting connections to other fields.

And we do not talk about mathematics on an empty stomach; we have free pizza!

                          Where: Little Hall 233                                         When: Thursday at 3:00 PM
