Speaker: Nicholas Faulkner (PhD candidate, Ontario Tech U),
Room: UA 4170,
Abstract: If you are a graduate student studying in MCSC program, the topic of KAM will probably not be that important to you. My thesis is two very long math proofs, that rely on tools from analysis, abstract algebra, linear algebra and topology. It is loosely connected to a bunch of “neat applied problems” but in the end it is a proof. To make the talk more useful and entertaining to you I will attempt to outline how the tools are used in context, why I think that math proofs are really cool, some of the basic ideas from several areas of math that I feel are really important for mathematical problem solvers, and some ideas I have about teaching students who are not strong in mathematics. The talk will be given as a set of lessons that relate to my thesis, and I hope that you will leave feeling that you learned something you can use in the future.
