SUMMARY:Prof. Edray Goins
DESCRIPTION:Title: Indiana Pols Forced to Eat Humble Pi\, The Curious History of an Irrational Number \nSpeaker: Prof. Edray Goins\, Pomona College \nIn 1897\, Indiana physician Edwin J. Goodwin believed he had discovered a way to square the circle\, and proposed a bill to Indiana Representative Taylor I. Record which would secure Indiana’s the claim to fame for his discovery. About the time the debate about the bill concluded\, Purdue University professor Clarence A. Waldo serendipitously came across the claimed discovery\, and pointed out its mathematical impossibility to the lawmakers. It had only be shown just 15 years before\, by the German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann\, that it was impossible to square the circle because π is an irrational number. This fodder became ignominiously known as the “Indiana Pi Bill” as Goodwin’s result would force π = 3.2. \nIn this talk\, we review this humorous history of the irrationality of π. We introduce a method to compute its digits\, present Lindemann’s proof of its irrationality (following a simplification by Miklós Laczkovich)\, discuss the relationship with the Hermite-Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem\, and explain how Edwin J. Goodwin came to his erroneous conclusion in the first place.

SUMMARY:Prof. Sam Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Title: Experimental Knot Music \nAbstract: In knot theory\, there are algebraic structures we can use to distinguish different types of knots and links. In this talk we will ask an unexpected question: what do they sound like? We will see a number of techniques I have been developing for interpreting knot-theoretic structures as elements of musical composition. \nProf. Nelson is Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Claremont McKenna College.

SUMMARY:Prof. Kiran Kedlaya
DESCRIPTION:Title: Space vectors forming rational angles \nAbstract:\nWe classify all possible configurations of vectors in three-dimensional space with the property that any two of the vectors form an angle whose measure is a rational multiple of π. As a corollary\, we find all tetrahedra whose six dihedral angles are all rational multiples of π.While these questions (and their answers) are of an elementary nature\, their resolution will take us on a tour through cyclotomic number fields\, computational algebraic geometry\, and an amazing fact about the geometry of tetrahedra discovered by two physicists in the 1960s. Joint work with Sasha Kolpakov\, Bjorn Poonen\, and Michael Rubinstein. \nDr Kedlaya is Professor of Mathematics and the Stefan E. Warschawski Chair in Mathematics at the University of California\, San Diego.

SUMMARY:Prof. Jemma Lorenat
DESCRIPTION:Title: A competent translation/a pitiful bungle: The Foundations of Geometry \nAbstract: David Hilbert’s Grundlagen der Geometrie is a rare example of a historical mathematics text that is still profitably read today and continues to inspire research in mathematics\, computer science\, and philosophy. \nThe effort of publishing an English translation of Hilbert in 1902 involved a diverse swath of the American mathematical community.  Edgar Jerome Townsend completed a first draft of his authorized translation in a few weeks\, but the process of creating a successful publication involved negotiations\, corrections\, and attention to detail that continued well after the first edition appeared in print. Meanwhile\, published and private texts that circulated around the English edition contained conflicting conclusions with respect to the quality of the translation\, the book’s audience\, and the parameters of a scholarly critique. This talk sheds light on American mathematics at a pivotal time in its history and raises questions about the language and form of mathematical texts that continue to be relevant today. \nProf. Lorenat is Assistant Professor at Pitzer College.
