11/7: Alden Gassert on Pascal’s Triangle

Please join us for the Undergraduate Math Seminar on Wednesday, 5:30-6:30 in LGRT 1634. This week, Alden Gassert
will give an untitled talk on Pascal’s Triangle and other nice topics
(abstract below). As always, pizza and soda will be provided.

Abstract:

At some point in our lives, we have all asked, “what is research in
mathematics?” I hope to provide a glimpse of what it is like to do
research mathematics by sharing my recent work. In the first part of
this talk, we will look at many of the well-known relations within
Pascal’s famous triangle. In the second part, I will share my resent
research experiences in which my problem led me to find some obscure
relations between elements of Pascal’s Triangle.
