POT 745 at 5:00PM
Title: Walk the Dog
Speaker: Rob Denomme, University of Kentucky
Idea: In the geometry of solids,
we often measure the volume, a 3-dimensional concept, and surface area, a
2-dimensional concept. We will talk about a lesser-known 1-dimensional
measurement with the help of our faithful dog Fido. We will use this
measurement to show that the Russian system of shipping boxes cannot be
cheated!

Title: Counting Past
Infinity or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Cantor’s Paradise
Speaker: Jonathan Rubin, University
of Chicago
Abstract:
We’ve all seen how to do induction and recursion up the natural numbers.
But what if we could keep going? I’m going to give a light introduction to
ordinals and cardinals, and then I’ll discuss some neat applications with
whatever time remains. Did you know that there is a subset of the plane that
intersects every line in exactly two points? Or that three-dimensional
Euclidean space can be decomposed as a disjoint union of radius one circles?
Come find out why!

Title: Analyzing Life
Space: How topology can be the cumbersome solution to all of life’s problems
Speaker: Julie Vega, University
of Kentucky
Abstract: If there is one thing I can appreciate, it’s a topology
enthusiast. In an effort to represent outcomes as a purely logical
consequence of life events, Kurt Lewin defined hodological
space and event paths. In this talk, we will detail the work of Kurt
Lewin, “the founder of social psychology,” and his attempt to introduce
topology into the study of psychology.

Title: Zeckendorf’s Theorem
Speaker: Pamela Harris, Williams College
Abstract: Zeckendorf’s theorem says
that every positive integer can be written uniquely as a sum of nonconsecutive
Fibonacci numbers, where the Fibonacci numbers satisfy the recurrencerelation $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n- 2}$ for $n\geq 3$,
$F_1=1$ and $F_2=2$. Take for example $2017 = 1597+ 377+34+8+1 =F_{16}+F_{13}+F_8+F_5+F_1$, which we can see uses only
nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers. Are the Fibonacci numbers the only sequence
of numbers with this property? The answer is no and in this talk we will
create new sequences of integers that satisfy the property that all nonnegative
integers can be written uniquely as the sum of numbers from our sequence
(with certain rules). Bring paper and pencil to this talk because you
will need them!
- March 9, 2017
Location POT 745 from 5-6pm
Title: Euclidean Steiner
Tree Problem
Speaker: Lui Garcia-Puente, Sam Houston
State University
Abstract: The Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem asks to construct a
shortest possible network interconnecting a set of given points in the
plane. In this activity, we will explore solutions to this problem for a
few small cases: 2, 3, and 4 points. Plane trigonometry and differential
calculus should be enough tools to find satisfying solutions. Then we
will experiment with soap bubbles to find solutions for larger cases.
- March 2, 2017
Location POT 745 from 5-6pm
Title: ‘Functor-ific!’
Speaker: Rob Denomme, University of

Abstract: We’ll try to motivate and explain what functors are using analogies with basic arithmetic. We’ll
also give some visual clues that help manipulate with these higher forms
of functions.
- February 13, 2017
Location POT 745 from 5-6pm
Title: A history of the associahedron
Speaker: Laura Escobar, UIUC
Abstract: The associahedron is a
polytope with vertices corresponding to the triangulations of a regular
(n+3)-gon. In this talk I will describe a
history of the associahedron. No specialized
knowledge will be assumed.

Title: Polynomial Approximations
Speaker: Amelia Tebbe, UIUC
Abstract: As mathematicians, we study many different kinds of
functions. From a computational standpoint, it is often easier to work
with an approximation of the function we are studying. We will discuss two
methods of polynomial approximation, Lagrangian
Interpolation and the Taylor Series, and the relationship between them.

Title: EXPLODING DOTS!!!
Speaker: Ben Braun, Associate Professor, University of Kentucky
Abstract: We will work through a series of cool activities based
on a simple model called Exploding Dots. Exploding dots provides a
framework that unifies elementary arithmetic, high school algebra,
infinite series from Calculus II, and beyond. Exploding dots is so
awesome, it is being used as the central activity for the Global Math
Week in October 2017 from the Global Math Project, see www.theglobalmathproject.org.
So, for math club this week, come prepared to do math with friends and
find out what everyone is so excited about!

Title: Transfer maps in calculus, algebra, and topology
Speaker: John Lind (Reed College)
Abstract: Transfer maps (also known as "umkehr"
or wrong-way maps) are certain sorts of functions that go in an
unexpected direction. In other words, their source and target are
opposite from what is expected in the given context. Transfer maps can
provide surprisingly deep information about the objects that they are
defined on. I will show you some examples that you may already know very
well, and then will describe a more exotic transfer map that arises by
understanding the geometry of loops in an algebraic way.

My favorite unsolved math problems, interesting new developments in
psychology, and various reasons why infinity makes me nervous
Ben Braun, Associate Professor, Wimberly and
Betty Rooyster Research Professor, University
of Kentucky Department of Mathematics
Abstract: Mathematicians and scientists spend much of their time
thinking about how to solve problems that no one knows how to solve.
There are lots of cool unsolved math problems that are easy to explain
and think about (even for elementary and high school students), but that
are nevertheless incredibly hard for professional mathematicians to make
any progress on. In this talk, I'll share a few of my favorite unsolved
math problems, and discuss why they are my favorites. Along the way,
we'll talk about some recent research in psychology and sociology that
comes into play when people struggle to understand the mathematical unknown.

Reception is at 4:30pm, the talk begins at 5pm
The Problem of Bus-Bunching and What to Do About It
Dr. John Bartholdi from Georgia Institute of Technology
Abstract: The main challenge for an urban bus system is to
maintain constant headways between successive buses. Most bus systems
try to adhere to a schedule, but the natural dynamics of the system
tends to collapse headways so that buses travel in bunches. What can be
done about it? We discuss some models of the phenomenon and show some
ways to coordinating buses. In addition, we introduce a new idea that
abandons the idea of a schedule and any a priori headway and enables
equal headways to emerge spontaneously. We also report on the
implementation for a public bus route in Atlanta.

Generatingfunctionology
(Or looking for a closed formula for the Fibonacci sequence)
Rafael S. González D'leòn, Postdoctoral
Scholar, University of Kentucky
A beautiful formula for the integer sequence of Fibonnacci
numbers, already known by Abraham de Moivre in
the 17th century, will give us enough motivation to introduce a very
useful technique in Combinatorics to find closed formulas for sequences
defined by a recurrence relation.

Luis Sordo Vieira
Due to an email issue this talk was attended by only one undergraduate.
This talk will be given again, sometime next spring.
When can integers be written as
the sum of squares?
From Pythagoras, to Fermat, to Legendre, mathematicians have been
interested in representation of integers by sums of squares. Legendre's
beautiful 4 square theorem states that any positive integer can be
represented as the sum of 4 squares. For example, 1+4+4+9=18. One easily
checks that 7 cannot be written as the sum of 3 squares. How well
