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! |
