Networking Opportunity with Bank Directors!

Dear Students,
Here is a chance to talk one on one with two of our Bank Directors who will be attending this session.
Location
Graduate Lounge
6th Floor the Bahen Building
40 St. George Street

Only students who register in advance may attend
Sign Up by noon today, Monday February 27, 2017
Doodle Link: http://doodle.com/poll/8vzsr59f5vwwiaid
Come along and take your resume and cover letter.
This is not a resume feedback session but if there are few mentees present you may get a chance to ask personal resume questions.
If not, you can leave the resume and cover letter with me and I will mail it out to them at a later date so that they can provide feedback!

Prepare your own need to know question list but each table will be furnished with suggested questions.
Refreshments become available
We will start gathering at 5:30 for refreshments and then the official launch takes place at 6:00.
Mentorship switches
You will have 10 minutes to talk with each mentor a switch will take place after each ten-minute slot and by 7:15p.m. we will wrap up the session.

Dress
Some of these mentors are also hiring managers, so you may want to make a good impression please dress Business Casual or semi-formal.

MU Presents: Deformations on Low Dimensional Topology

This talk will be given by Jaimal Thind. Food will be served at 4:30pm in the graduate lounge on the 6th floor of Bahen!

Imagine that the surfaces in the picture on this poster are made of a very stretchable rubber. Without cutting, tearing or puncturing the surfaces, can you start with the surface on the top and turn it into the surface below it? Would you like to know how it’s possible? If so, this talk is for you!

In this interactive talk we will introduce some ideas related to surfaces and their generalizations (called manifolds), mostly focussed on dimensions 2 and 3. We will introduce the notion of a manifold, equivalence of manifolds, and look at examples and constructions in low dimension. The audience will have the opportunity to use models to understand the solution to the above problem, and some others like it.

We will put an emphasis on developing geometric intuition, so the only pre-requisite demanded is an open imagination. (Familiarity with the notion of continuity and basic geometry will help.)

The Hallway Probelm

This talk will be given by Jason Siefken!

The hallway problem considers adjacent parallel hallways of unit width each with a single doorway (aligned with integer lattice points) of unit width. It then asks: what are the properties of lines that pass through each doorway? Configurations of doorways closely correspond to Sturmian words, and so properties of these configurations may be lifted to properties of Sturmian words. This talk will explore lines of sight, lines that pass through each doorway, for both the case for both a finite number of parallel hallways and an infinite number, and their consequences for Sturmian words. We then produce a metric on configurations with an infinite number of hallways that preserves the property of admitting a line of sight under limits.

Refreshments will be served at 4:30pm in the graduate lounge on the 6th floor of Bahen.
