SMMG – January 2024Date: January 28th, 2024
Time: 12pm-2pm Location: PMA 5.104 Speaker: Zehua Lai Title: Combinatorial Game Theory Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss two famous games "Nim" and "Hex". We will try to find the winning strategy of the two games and touch on the basics of combinatorial game theory. |

SMMG – Feburary 2024Date: Feburary 11th, 2024
Time: 12pm-2pm Location: PMA 5.104 Speaker: Audrick Pyronneau Title: A Walk Around Königsberg Abstract: Topology is a field of math continuously changing. Just as aspects of our personality stay the same throughout continuous change, so do certain properties of space. We look into the continuous change of space to give us insight into the fundamental properties of space. Then maybe we can finally understand why Topologists drink coffee out of donuts... (Probably knot.) See you Sunday, Feb 11th at 12! |

SMMG – Feburary 2024Date: Feburary 25th, 2024
Time: 12pm-2pm Location: PMA 5.104 Speaker: Aru Mukherjea Title: Fractals and the Coastline Paradox Abstract: What do river systems, lightning strikes, snowflakes, and cauliflowers have in common? They're examples of fractals, shapes that remain complicated however closely you zoom in. Join us as we explore their strange and counterintuitive properties, and find out along the way why measuring coastlines is surprisingly hard. |

SMMG – March 2024Date: March 24th, 2024
Time: 12pm-2pm Location: PMA 5.104 Speaker: Shreev Goyal Title: Visualizing Mathematical Proofs Abstract: A picture is worth a thousand equations. Math is a beautiful blend of simplicity, complexity, and sometimes a whole bunch of numbers. But oftentimes we don't need huge equations to articulate a point, rather just a picture to explain our thinking. Join me in a journey where we navigate the world of mathematics through the lens of visual understanding, transforming abstract numbers into comprehensible art. |
