Come join us on Wednesday, 3/4, 5-6pm in LGRT 1634 for a talk by UMass grad student Steve Oloo: “Navigating higher dimensional space”
Pizza and soda will be provided as usual!
Abstract: It can be tough to visualize spaces once we start dealing with more than 3 dimensions. But for particularly nice spaces there is hope! Come be introduced to some basic examples of moduli spaces – spaces whose points represent geometric objects of some kind. Along the way we will think about interesting questions like – exactly what is a singularity? (And no, I’m not referring to the moment when super intelligent AI takes over the planet.
Hope to see you there!
