The Great Gauss-Bonnet Theorem with Dr. Sher

Consider a surface in three-dimensional space. Think of the surface of the earth, or of a donut. You will observe that one has a hole, and one does not; this reflects the fact that the surfaces have different topology. These surfaces can also be analyzed by studying their curvature, which measures how curved they are at each point; this is differential geometry. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem provides a fascinating connection between the geometry and the topology of such surfaces. I will introduce the basics, with the goal of explaining what this surprising theorem says.

MAT Community Tea and Coffee Hour
Head to the 5th floor of the SAC this Friday to hang out with peers and professors in the math department! While you're there, pick up some tea or coffee and maybe a sweet treat!
  
"That’s what you’ve learned in this whole course. That G is equal to G."

Math Club is going to ISMAA's Annual Meeting!

The Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America is holding their annual meeting at University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois on March 28th. This conference hosts a wide variety of speakers and research presentation sessions and is a great way to get to know the math community in Illinois! FIll out this form if you're interested or click here for more information.
Thanks For Reading!
