Is Math Real? How Simple Questions Lead Us To Mathematics' Deepest Truths, Eugenia Cheng Oct 2023

Is Math Real? How Simple Questions Lead Us To Mathematics' Deepest Truths, Eugenia Cheng

Dalrymple Lecture Series

Where does math come from: from rules in a textbook? From logic and deduction? Not quite. In this talk Eugenia Cheng will argue that math comes from human curiosity - most importantly, from asking questions. Many people are discouraged from asking these questions in school, thinking they’re too simple to be taken seriously, or being told that their questions are stupid. But often, these simple-sounding questions lead to wondrous mathematical revelations. Dr Cheng will take us on a journey of discovery starting with questions like "Why does 2x3 = 3x2?" and "What's the point of maths?", leading us into research-level …

Why Does Ramanujan, The Man Who Knew Infinity, Matter?, Ken Ono Oct 2019

Why Does Ramanujan, The Man Who Knew Infinity, Matter?, Ken Ono

Dalrymple Lecture Series

Dr. Ken Ono is the Thomas Jefferson Professor of Mathematics at the University of Virginia, the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics at Emory University, and the vice president of the American Mathematical Society.He is an associate producer of the film The Man Who Knew Infinity starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons about Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-trained two-time college dropout who left behind three notebooks filled with equations that mathematicians are still trying to figure out today. Ramanujan claimed that his ideas came to him as visions from an Indian goddess. This lecture is about why Ramanujan matters. The answers …

Special Section: Collabortions. To better understand the world and to tackle its complex problems, collaboration between disciplines offers a critical path forward. Faculty research and teaching interests to give students multidisciplinary educational opportunities. In this special section, we present the latest offerings in the College—two new minors, a new integrated fine arts course, and integrated science courses—along with a glimpse of the other multidisciplinary majors and minors.


Algebraic Complexity Theory, Jerzy Weyman Oct 2015

Algebraic Complexity Theory, Jerzy Weyman

Dalrymple Lecture Series

I will discuss the basic notions related to the complexity theory. The classes of P and NP problems will be defined, with examples given. Besides discussing the statements of the problems, I will talk about the effectiveness of algorithms used in linear algebra (multiplying matrices and solving the systems of linear equations). No previous knowledge of complexity theory will be assumed, however some knowledge of linear algebra (matrices and their multiplication) will be needed.


Primes And Zeros: A Million Dollar Mystery, Brian Conrey Apr 2015

Primes And Zeros: A Million Dollar Mystery, Brian Conrey

Dalrymple Lecture Series

A prime number is an integer greater than one whose only positive divisors are 1 and itself. In 1859 G. F. B. Riemann proposed a way to understand how the prime numbers are distributed among the natural numbers. More than 150 years later mathematicians still have not proven Riemann's Hypothesis. The stature of this problem has continued to rise so that today it is widely regarded as the most important unsolved problem in all of mathematics. In this talk I will describe some of the colorful history that surrounds this question.

Special Section: The Rise of Health Professions. Over the past decade, the health-care sector added jobs month after month, even when jobs were disappearing elsewhere in the economy. The field is projected to add many more in the coming decade, so it makes sense that the number of students majoring in health-related fields rose sharply. Roughly one in 10 college graduates now gets a health-related degree.
