Two Subtle Theorems about Equilateral Triangles

In 1899 Frank Morley noticed that the points of intersection of the adjacent angle trisectors form an equilateral triangle. Since then, proofs of various levels of complexity have been given, and in this colloquium Professor Conway will present a surprisingly simple proof discovered by himself. In addition, Professor Conway will introduce a new theorem of himself on equilateral triangles and the subtle mathematics behind it.

THE NASH PROBLEM FOR ARC SPACES Wednesday Oct 2nd Fine 214 6:00 pm Abstract: In a 1968 preprint, John Nash asked some very interesting questions about the family of all arcs on algebraic or analytic surfaces and hypersurfaces. I illustrate these questions using the examples of the surfaces (xy=z^n) and (x^2+y^3=z^4). I plan to end […]

Hey Nullset!   So we haven’t hung out in a while. That makes me pretty sad. I think I’m having board game deficiency syndrome. The symptoms highly resemble those that you get when you haven’t had coffee for a while, so I’m sure you can imagine how sad this is making me. But no worries, we can […]
