Department Seminar

A Tour of Algebraic Surfaces
Julie Rana
University of Minnesota
 _______________________________________

We'll explore the world of algebraic geometry, where spheres are the same as planes, imaginary numbers coexist peacefully with the real ones, and parallel lines intersect. In this talk we'll view algebraic geometry through the lens of algebraic surfaces, geometric objects whose rich classification brings us to the cutting edge of mathematical research.

Time: 12:00 – 12:50
Day: Wednesday, March 15
Place: Gildemeister 155
Refreshments served beforehand in Math/Stat Student Lounge (GI135)
