Week 5 – Pizza & Bubble Tea Social
Event: TMS Pizza & Bubble Tea Social
Date: Monday, 24 February
Time: 6pm – 9pm
Location: Burrell’s Field Common Room, Trinity College Burrell’s Field (58 Grange Road)
Time: 6pm – 9pm
Location: Burrell’s Field Common Room, Trinity College Burrell’s Field (58 Grange Road)
Why you should come: parallel play with example sheets we will attempt to play Mathematical Charades/Call My Bluff! (and there’s the usual abundance of board games too.)
Week 6 – Professor Ben Green
Title: Besicovitch sets and the Kakeya Conjecture
Speaker: Professor Ben Green
Abstract: In a preprint posted online on February 26th, Hong Wang and Josh Zahl announced a proof of the Kakeya Conjecture in 3 dimensions. I will explain what this means together with some of the history of the problem.

Week 8 – Dr Kasia Warburton + Citadel/Correlation One Europe Terminal
Title: Understanding glacier stability
Speaker: Dr Kasia Warburton
Abstract: Glaciers are enormous examples of viscous flow in nature. Their poorly constrained boundary conditions lead to large uncertainty in sea level rise predictions. In this talk, I’ll present some classical and much more recent results that employ linear stability analysis to understand glacier evolution, measurement, and observations.
