Hello,
Just a reminder that the second math club meeting is tonight! We will meet in the lounge on the 4th floor of MSCS (caddy corner to the elevators on the left) for pizza and beverages and then move to MSCS 514 for the movie, {proof}. Hope to see you at 5pm!
Thanks,
Tyler Eckert
Friends, Romans, Math Club. Lend me your ears!
There will be a Math Club meeting on Tuesday, Oct 11 at 5:00 pm. It will be in MSCS 514. We will be watching Proof and enjoying pizza, soda, and good company.
Hope to see you all there,
Andrew Noel
Math Majors,
In the Spring semester Differential Geometry (MATH 5413) will be
offered. Differential
Geometry is the study of surfaces (curvature, geodesics, etc). It is
also the basis for
the study of relativity. The prerequisites are minimal (either MATH
4013 or MATH 4143).
This is a great opportunity, since the course is not offered too often.
Also, this course will
count in the major requirements under the 'General' option (even
though it is not explicitly
listed on the degree sheet).
Here is the catologue description:
*MATH 5413
Differential Geometry.* Prerequisite(s): 4013 or 4143 or 5043.
Differential manifolds, vector fields, differential forms, connections,
Riemannian metrics, geodesics, completeness, curvature, and related topics.
Here is a nice description of differential geometry (with pictures!):

I hope some of you consider enrolling.
