Title: Puzzling Permutations
Abstract: Permutations are one of the most fundamental notions in mathematics. In this talk, we will discuss a visual representation of permutations and introduce some games one can play to help “see” different properties. These puzzling games can be used to provide insight into deeper mathematical content as well. Time permitting, we will explore connections to topology and biology. This talk is based on joint work with Steven Dougherty and Michael Allocca.
Dr. Vasquez is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Scranton.
