MAA Lecture: "Putting Topology to Work" (now full)
Hosted by Washington Math Meetup Group
Details
According to the MAA, this lecture is now full.
Presented by Robert Ghrist. Mathematics implicates motions and machines; computations and colorings; the strings and arrows of life. Perhaps the grandest expression of the beauty and power of mathematics is revealed in the quantification and qualification of that which is not there: holes. Topology—the mathematics of holes—will be surveyed with a fresh look at the many ways in which topology is used in data management, networks, and optimization. - See more at: http://www.maa.org/meetings/calendar-events/putting-topology-to-work#sthash.8WT3KkRF.dpuf
