Shape of space: Math Club Event

Shape of Space: Low dimensional manifolds
Hosted by Frank Sottile (Texas A&M)

March 12, 2:00-3:30pm in Keller 302

Join the math club for donuts and a discussion of math with Frank Sottile who is visiting form Texas A&M! Anyone welcome!

Abstract: In mathematics and science, we often need to think about high (3 or more) dimensional objects, called spaces, which are hard or impossible to visualize. Besides the question of what such objects are or could be, is the problem of can we make sense of such spaces. The goal of this discussion is to give you an idea of how mathematicians manage to make sense of higher-dimensional spaces. We will do this by exploring the simplest spaces, and through our explorations we will begin to see how we may tell different spaces apart. Along the way, we will dissect donuts.
