SMMG – January 2025

Date: January 26th, 2024

Time: 12pm-2pm

Location: PMA 4.102

Speaker: Jacob Gaiter

Title: Surfaces, Water Droplets, and Polygons

Abstract: Surfaces seem to pop up everywhere, from the spheres of classical Euclidean geometry to the surface of a donut. If I handed you a beach ball and an inner tube, you could immediately distinguish these two shapes--the most notable difference between them is that a beach ball doesn't have a hole, while an inner tube has a gap in the middle. While this intuitively shows us these shapes must be different in some sense, in this talk we will establish a more mathematically rigorous way of distinguishing them.

Speaker: Daniel Koizumi

Title: Secret Codes and Messaging

Abstract: One of the most desirable things to do in life is to keep your secrets from being heard by other people. Let's say you have a message you'd like to exchange to someone else that you'd like to keep secret between yourself and the other person. There are plenty of ways to do this, but mathematics provides a myriad of solid ways to encrypt your messages. In this talk, we will discuss public key exchange and RSA encryption techniques.
