The Search for Randomness

Diaconis

I will take a careful look at some of our most primitive images of random phenomena: flipping a coin, shuffling cards, and rolling a roulette ball. In each case, physics and math show that (usually) things are not very random. Some implications to the use and misuse of "statistical modeling" are drawn.

Why Knot?

Adams

Knots have appeared everywhere from art, literature and religion to seafaring. We will discuss their past history as well as their future, with emphasis on the role they play in mathematics and the applications of that role to DNA and synthetic chemistry. No background assumed. Reception to follow.
