Join us for a brainstorming session to create an outreach exhibit for the upcoming ICM. And, of course, there will be free pizza!
Abstract: This is the kick-off meeting for all students interested in helping build the “Are we there yet? An exploration of distance” exhibit for the ICM this summer. At this meeting Profs. Lang and Lufi will get everyone sorted into working groups based on the five examples of distance: Euclidean geometry, Spherical geometry, Hyperbolic geometry, Graph/Taxicab geometry, and p-adic geometry. You’ll meet your graduate student leaders, make a plan for future meetings, and start brainstorming about creating your exhibit. If you’ve already expressed interest in helping, check your email for pre-meeting instructions. If you’re just hearing about this, feel free to join anyway to get involved!
