Last year, we gave you the opportunity to design a hoody for The Warwick Mathematics Society. This year we're giving you the chance to let us know what you'd like on the first ever society T-Shirts! Designs can be anything, but try to stick to a single colour. Find attached an entry form that when completed you can put in the soon-to-appear folder on our noticeboard (which is between the two computer rooms at the front of the Maths Department.) | ||

Take a function What is the long term behavior of These questions are at least in part answered by Sharkovskii's theorem- an extraordinarily powerful and, at first glance, rather unexpected theorem with a quite elementary proof. A result tying together several properties of our system and dancing on the fringe of that great popular maths buzzword "chaos"... | ||

The story started with Gauss, a young german boy who liked to factorise the numbers in his hymn books, whose conjectured approximation to the frequency of the appearance of primes sparked a treasure hunt for a proof, as mathematicians fought to make the magic happen. Nearly half a century later, a fresh faced Bernhard Riemann thought he had found a way: simply through finding the zeroes of some complex valued function, the result would come as if from nowhere- the end seemed well in sight. | ||

Topology is the study of the fundamental structure of spaces, we disregard distance, throw geometry out of the window and exist only in a deformable world where up is down and breathing space is all that matters. This breathing space we characterise by way of open sets- subsets of our world where we can "move around" given that we are a sufficiently small person (though size matters not) of given dimension. We thus identify spaces whose open set structure is the same, a definition conveniently attended to by a certain kind of "nice" function called a homeomorphism. Those spaces with one of these homeomorphism type bad boys between them are the same in a very subtle way, and naturally those that differ often do so in the same subtle way- and it is our job as mathematicians to point to these subtle differences with enormous algebra shaped arrows. | ||

Zeta, gamma, calculus of variations, complex numbers, analytical number theory, hypergeometric series, algebraic topology, graph theory, differential equations... You name a pi(e), Leonard Euler had a finger in it. One of the most prolific and prominent mathematicians of all time turns three hundred this year and you are cordially invited to join the celebration. Jeremy Gray, Warwick's premier mathematical historian, will be taking us on a journey through one of history's most extraordinary minds, showing us the context, triumphs and failures that made the man. The talk, which should last a bit over an hour, will be accessible to anyone with even a casual interest in maths, and will be followed swiftly with banter, beverages and birthday cake in the common room... If you like this, be sure to come to our other discussion groups: monday and thurday MS03 7:30 every week. | ||

: every now and again a function comes along that is just Special, there's no real expaination for it- it just is. Sometimes they see fit to generalize, sometimes to link- sometimes they just seem to frame a problem just right... but a little playing usually reveals that you are getting rather more than you bargained for.
