A few weeks ago Tom Boardman gave a talk on homology and De Rham Cohomology. Unfortunately by the time he got to the second (possibly more interesting) bit it was 9pm and he sort of rushed through it at a baffling rate.

This monday 7:30 MS03, balance will be restored as differential forms are built up from first principles to the abstract and awesomely powerful theory that now forms the heart of a millenium prize problem (The Hodge Conjecture). Theorems will be proved, fun will be had.

Just a note to say Maths Cafe is happening this week- though it's going to be a little shorter than usual...

We start at 2 as usual, knuckling down to an hour of hardcore maths/cake eating, but at 3 it's off to watch the fabulous hustingness...

...We should be around again for a little while afterwards though in case anyone's completely stumped...

A chance to outline policy and temperament, rectifying the bias of web voting, democracy in action... Or just an unfair advantage to the loud ones?

Wednesday 20th Feb 3pm, will be your chance to point out the division by zero in your opponent's manifesto, or show members how committed to revision guides you are. Debate, discussion and derision (though hopefully not the last one, I just needed an extra 'D') aplently. Just debate and discussion then.

Meet in the Undergraduate Workroom and we'll go from there!

Ever wondered how your emails got from one side of the world to another, or even how you know they'll ever get there? Questions like this arise when you try to move data through a network, how can we answer such puzzles?

Steven Jones talks us though one promising approach developed in the last few (4) years: Routing Algebras.

Starting with a meta-presentation of his 4th year project talk (i.e. get some hot tips for if/when you do yours) followed by an in-depth discussion of meta-routing. Abstract Algebra meets an unlikely mate: usefulness; in this discussion group that's sure to set pulses racing with it's powerpoint slides and real world applications.

Then we experimentally find a path to the pub.

All welcome on Wednesday 5th March at 2pm to discuss current issues in the society - this meeting will be acting as our AGM.

We will be handing over to the new exec during this meeting.

We'll be distributing the society clothing order in the workroom, look for the people with the big box!

Are you puzzled by partials? Oh so tired of o(h)? Do the IFTs bring you out in some strange confusion-based rash?
Or maybe you just got bored around week 3 and stopped turning up to the lectures before midday...

Either way- your favouritest maths society in all the world is here to help: based on requests by you, made on our forums, we're putting on an informal lecture/class/discussion-thingy just for you. An hour (and a bit) of simple clear explanations, building your intuition and helping you understand the main theorems of the course- the dream is for total 'ask what you like without intimidation' informality.

That's all at B1.01 this friday at 1- Free to Members.

Join us at the end of week 9 in the City Arms, Earlsdon, for a farewell send off of the old exec and a celebration for the new exec. This is a really good chance to get to know your new exec and to have your say in the society while the newbies are young and easily influenced.

Also for people on campus we will be in the Grad Pub from 6pm and will help everyone get to Earlsdon.

See you in the pub!
