In this course, we’ll talk about some real world applications of mathematics. For example, how elliptic curves are used to guarantee the security of Bitcoins, and how representation theory of symmetric groups tells us that seven riffle shuffles are needed to make a deck of cards close to random.

This is a message regarding Math UN3952 - Undergraduate Seminars II. If you are already enrolled, please see below for important information. If you are interested in enrolling, please come to the organizational meeting.

We will have a organizational meeting on Thursday, January 18 from 7:30 pm to 8:45 pm, in 508 Mathematics. It is important that anyone interested in taking an undergraduate seminar attend this meeting. At this meeting, we will choose topics and fix meeting times for the seminars.

There will be a choice of four seminars. Each seminar will meet once a week for two hours, at a mutually convenient time for the participants.

If you cannot attend this organizational meeting, contact me and I will inform you of the seminar times and topics once they are decided. If you can, have another student attending this meeting act as your proxy.

Please see the course web page for further information:
