WANT TO FLEX YOUR MATH MUSCLES?
The 3rd Annual AUC Mathematics Competition
Friday, March 28, 2008, 02:30 pm - 06:00 pm Hill House 6th floor
The competition is open to all university students. Prizes are gift
certificates of LE500 for 1st place, LE300 for 2nd place, LE 200 for 3rd
place. Plus the top three competitors will be recognized at the Honors
Assembly.
There is no prerequisite for the competition, students from freshmen to senior can participate. Although, it is recommended that the students have taken or are enrolled in some Calculus course.
A new feature this year is that the third round of the competition is a
group round, so participants will work in groups of 2 to 3 people to solve
problems in this round. As such, students will need to sign up as a group of
2 or 3 people.
Students can sign up for the competition on the door of Dr Ryan Derby Talbot’s office, room 605 Science Building or send an email to rdt@aucegypt.edu . The deadline for signing up is Tuesday, March 25 by 5pm.

"Toward an Archaeology of Mathematics: The Mathematical Diagram as Artifact"
Lecture:
Dr. Gregg R. De Young will be giving a lecture titled "Toward an Archaeology of Mathematics: The Mathematical Diagram as Artifact" on Tuesday, November 6, from 5:00 pm to 6:15 pm, in Room 607 Science Building.
Some of the oldest mathematical documents, those surviving from ancient Egypt, contain diagrams. The diagrams in the Rhind.
Mathematical Papyrus, however, differ in fundamental ways from diagrams found in Greek mathematics -- the most immediate source of the European mathematical heritage. Just as the archaeologist uncovers artifacts and attempts to understand them and their significance for the culture that produced them, so the historian of mathematics studies artifacts from the mathematical heritage of mankind and tries to understand them in relation to the cultural milieu in which they were developed and used. In recent years, several advances have produced new approaches to the study of mathematical diagrams as historical artifacts. This presentation summarizes how the study of diagrams is re-shaping our understanding of the history of pre-modern mathematics.
Mathematics Society* Lecture
"You're Probably Wrong, Fooled by Randomness" by Dr. Mark Roy Werner is an intriguing tour of the many ways in which uncertainty, probability and randomness affect our everyday lives, often without us even knowing it. Is it possible to tame these unpredictable, dark forces, and even use them for our benefit? A multimedia-based, introductory-level presentation accessible to a general audience, with or without a mathematics background. Refreshments will be served
Date: Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Time: 3:00pm - 3:55pm
Location: Room 607 Science Building
