IT IS
OFFICIAL!!!
We are back as an official university
club. Sponsored
by Dr. Ali Zakeri,
the math club serves dual purposes. First, it tries to bring together those
who share a common interest in math. At the same time, accompanied by this
page, it provides useful information to those pursuing a math
degree.
Right about now you must be
thinking:
"Math Club = Nerds 'R Us"
Strike one! Actually our meetings are fun and open to
all! No pocket protectors required! All members,
math majors or not, bring ideas
and questions regarding math.
"Ooooh... I'll be put on the spot and asked questions,
like I was back in class."
Strike two! True, we debate, but the main purpose is to
have fun with math.
"OK! So I'll have to go through some hard initiation
test and dedicate my life to the study of mathematics??"
Strike three! Our meetings are twice a month and all you
have to do is show up. No strings attached, no purchase necessary, cancel
at any time!
You are still reading? Wow! You have become a math
fanatic without even realizing it. Just kidding!!! If you want to read
more on math, our newsletter
is updated monthly. Furthermore, we offer updated job
listings and quick connection to some other great WWW
math sites.
Wait, there is even more. Act now, and you will receive
free "elbow rubbing" with our wonderful faculty
members. Overcome your fear of professors and at the same time benefit
from their knowledge and experience. You also have a chance to meet some
of our distinguished alumni.
"Wow! Have fun, meet new people, and learn a little
in the process."
You are right, there is nothing to lose. Hope to see you
there...

It is still a work in process, therefore suggestions and contributions
would be greatly appreciated!

Some of PREVIOUS Meetings in

Wednesday November 14, 2001
2:00-3:00pm at SC1117
Life After Graduating College
by Professor Ann Davis from Pasadina College (former CSUN
Grad)
Wednesday November 7, 2001
2:00-3:00pm at SC1117
Coloring the Plane
by Professor Silvia Fernandez
Abstract
Consider all colorings of the plane with three colors (color
each point with one color).
Is it always possible to find an isosceles triangle whose vertices have
different colors? or a regular triangle whose three vertices have the same
color?
These are examples of problems in Tightness and Ramsey theories. In this
talk we present the answers to the previous questions as well as other
related problems.
Wednesday October 24, 2001
2:00-3:00pm at SC1117
Points, lines and their
relations
by Professor Bernardo Abrego
Abstract
In 1899 Sylvester posed the following problem: Suppose we
have
a finite collection of points with the following property; the line
passing through any two of the points, contains a third point. Is it true
that all points must be on a single line? In this talk we will discuss
several solutions to this problem, and we will talk about some related
problems on the same spirit. In order to maximize your enjoyment of the
talk I suggest that you try the problem beforehand. Try some examples with
a few points (say 10 or 12), Do you think the answer is yes or no?
