 Introducing Emily Landes and The Hairy Ball Theorem.  Emily shows the crowd a torus.    Students work together on exercises.    Look! A simplicial complex!    A vector field on your head.    Emily describes the tangent plane.  A volunteer from the audience spins around to demonstrate the index of a zero in a vector field.    Grad student helpers join in on the spinning action.   Students can spin around too!  |
