Last year, your favourite mathtastic mathciety ran a series of informal lectures for first and second years pre-exams: the idea was to bring you up to speed and give you an overview of topics to make your exams just a little better- Their success was, to be honest, mixed at best, but we want to change that. This year they're coming back, bigger and better than ever, but we need your help to make 'em that way... | ||

Discussion Groups are back for term 3, starting with one of our trademark "Free-for-alls" this Monday at 7:30 in MS03: anyone is welcome to bring a piece of maths they find interesting/fun and hold a mini-discussion group about it (even as short as 10-15 minutes). Maths banter aplenty guaranteed, "then pub." | ||

There shall be a discussion group at the usual time and place this Monday (7:30 in MS.03) but we are not yet sure what the subject of the talk will be. Stay tuned for more details. | ||

UPDATE: This talk has been rescheduled to the following Thursday, the 8th of May.On August 8th 1900, in what was possibly the most famous lecture in the history of mathematics, the great David Hilbert set a list of 23 open problems that he deemed important enough to set the direction for mathematical research in the 20th century. These problems have all gained a special status in mathematical lore and have gained a great deal of attention during the past 100 years, leading to the resolution of many (though not all) of them. | ||

The study of Diophantine Equations, that is, equations to which we want to find integer solutions, is one of the oldest and most fruitful areas of number theory. Many famous problems, such as Fermat's Last Theorem or Catalan's Conjecture ("the only two consecutive powers are 8 and 9") are examples of Diophantine equations which have sparked great interest and, in some cases, entire areas of mathematics which have been developed in order to solve them (ring theory and elliptic curves being two notable examples).

Next Monday the WMS is having a social in Top B. There will be lots of frivolous fun, frolics, dangerous drinks mayhem, and hats... For early birds, we will be up in the grad from 8:30 and heading down to top b at 9. We'll grab some seats upstairs. Come say hi. | ||
