Unshackling Linear Algebra from Linear Notation
Thursday, November 12, 2009
A seminar by Elisha Peterson United States Military Academy at West Point
Have you ever seen one of those movies where the hero unearths an artifact covered with mysterious symbols, and it takes a brilliant scientist to decipher their meaning? Hollywood's tacit (and reasonable) assumption is that the mathematics of a different civilization would look very different. This talk is an accessible introduction to trace diagrams, a non-traditional notation for linear algebra that could plausibly have been developed by another civilization. Surprisingly, the notation is perfectly rigorous, and often leads to proofs more elegant than those written using traditional notation. The only prerequisite is an understanding of basic linear algebra and a willingness to work some examples to get used to doing real math with "doodles".

Watching Rust Dissolve: Ultrafast X-Ray Absorption Measurements of the Reductive Dissolution of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
A lecture by Jordan Katz Candidate for the position in Chemistry The reduction of Fe(III) is one of the most important chemical changes that takes place in the development of anaerobic soils and sediments, and the reductive dissolution of iron-bearing minerals by microbes plays a critical role in this process. Despite its importance in biogeochemistry, many questions remain about the mechanism of this electron transfer reaction, in part because the speed of the fundamental chemical steps renders them inaccessible to conventional study. Ultrafast time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy is a technique that can overcome this limitation and measure changes in oxidation state and structure occurring during chemical reactions that can be initiated by a fast laser pulse. We use this approach with ~100 ps resolution to monitor the speciation of Fe atoms in maghemite nanoparticles following photo-induced electron transfer from a surface-bound photoactive dye molecule.

A Very Brief History of Calculus
Thursday, November 5, 2009
A seminar by Ethan Bloch Mathematics program
It is well known that Newton and Leibniz invented calculus in the 17th century. It is less well known what exactly they did, and did not, do. In fact, many of the ingredients of calculus were known before Newton and Leibniz, and it took over one hundred years after them for calculus to be brought into the form in which we know it today, and another fifty years after that for all the details to be worked out rigorously. This talk will outline some of the main steps in the development of calculus from the ancient Greeks to the 19th century. Most of the talk will be accessible to anyone familiar with the basic ideas of calculus.
