Robin will talk tonight in LGRT 1528, 5-6pm about knots and links. Here’s his abstract:
I will introduce the mathematical study of knots, links, and the Gauss linking number. The talk will involve pictures, some brief history, and an elementary formula in terms of counting crossings. At the end, I will reinterpret this formula in terms of multivariable calculus.
Hope to see you there! Pizza and soda will be provided.
