Day 10, Mat194: Mathematical Sciences Seminar

Last time

Next time

Announcements:
- Welcome, sweet springtime!
- Kari has answered your questions.
- Laura will be answering these questions. Feel free to ask any more, of any of our speakers, and I'll ask them to respond.
- Today we welcome Prof. Emeritus Dan Curtin to talk about "Math and History".
- Remember to get me your response forms for Wilkinson and Long's talk about Math and Music (The form)
- Upcoming events:
  - There's the Econ competition that Dakota talked about last time. Dakota/Matt, remind me of dates....
  - The KYMAA (Kentucky Mathematical Association of America) will be holding its spring meeting April 6-7, 2018 at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY.
    You might still be able to attend, if interested, but we're actually past the deadline...:(
  - The Celebration of Student Research is also coming up in April -- the 10th and 11th. There are opportunities to visit talks, or the big poster session.
    Is anyone here participating in that?
Finally! The main event: today we'll be hearing from another mathemusician: Prof. Curtin is a skillful musician, particularly Irish/Celtic music, and I've invited him to share a bit about his experiences with math and music (if he so chooses).
But he's made a career out of the study of math history, and I've asked him to share some insights into mathematic's relation to history -- how it's changed history, how it's played a role in history, why he loves math history, or any other facet of math history (e.g. favorite tales) that he wishes. He's earned free reign!:)
