Stop by OC3509 this Friday, September 20th for the Math Club's first presentation of the semester! It will be hosted by MiraCosta's own Rachid Atmai. We will start at 1pm and, as always, there will be pizza; don't miss out on this rare opportunity to gain a new perspective on the meaning of infinity.
Here is a brief abstract from professor Rachid:
Hermann Weyl famously said that mathematics is the scientific study of infinity. The goal of this talk will thus be to present an overview of the concept of infinity in mathematics. Infinity manifests itself in different ways throughout mathematics and sometimes in physics and even theoretical computer science (computational complexity). In mathematics, infinity shows up in number theory, topology, differential topology and many other fields of research but it is the central topic of study and research in set theory.
