Math Graduate Seminar

Algebraic Groups for Everybody!
Pablo Solis, Olga Taussky and John Todd Instructor, Mathematics, Caltech,

What do particle physics, p vs np, cryptography and quadratic forms have in common? More than you might think! Come learn what an algebraic group is and how the theory of algebraic groups pops up in these subjects as well as others.

The goal of the math graduate seminar is to provide a place for graduate students to interact and to present new/interesting developments from our respective areas of research. The seminar is organized by graduate students, and is intended for a graduate student audience. The speaker must present interesting/important facts from any area of mathematics in a way that can be understood by students from different backgrounds.

FREE PIZZAS AND SODAS WILL BE SERVED!
