Topics
In our July meeting, we will have 3 short (~25 mins) presentation on books chosen by members:
Let's have your suggestions for future topics. Our small group will survive only with inputs from members, so come up with more topics that can be covered. Giving a talk is also a great excuse to spend time finding out more about it.
Philip Stacey
- The Constants of Nature by John Barrow
- Visual Differential Geometry and Forms by Tristan Needham
- The mathematician's brain by David Ruelle
