Undergraduate Colloquium:Professor Sanjeev Arora
When are how can we compute approximate solutions to NP-hard problems? Fine 214 Wenesday Nov.6th 6:00pm In the 1970s it was discovered that many computational problems in a variety of disciplines are NP-complete: they do not have efficient algorithms if P != NP, as is widely believed. This was a profound discovery. However, in practice […]
Colloquium:Professor Ozsvath
On knot Floer homology on Wednesday October 16th at 6:00 pm, Fine 214 Note the Room is 214! There will be refreshments! Abstract: Knot Floer homology is an invariant for knots which is defined using techniques from symplectic geometry. I will start by asking a few basic questions about knots, and explain how this invariant […]
