Dr. Dibyajyoti Deb, Dept. of Mathematics, OIT | The
21 Card Trick and Its Generalization -
The 21 card trick is a popular card trick. In this talk we will
look at the mathematics behind this trick, and also look at a
complete generalization of this trick. |

Fractal
Geometry of Julia Sets -
Given a complex function f(z), the Julia set consists of the
closure of the set of repelling periodic points of f. Julia sets
are often fractals, showing stunning similar patterns for even
very simple functions. This talk gives a tour of how Julia sets
are defined, how they may be visualized and how some of their
geometrical patterns may be explained. This talk will also
explore the topology of Julia sets and the famous Mandelbrot
set. |

Dr. Jesse Kinder, Dept. of Natural Sciences, OIT | Hartree-Fock
Theory - This theory is the foundation of a many numerical
methods for computing the properties of atoms, molecules, and
crystals in materials science, chemistry, and physics. For N
electrons, one is solving a 3N-dimensional nonlinear PDE, but
the solution uses only linear algebra (iterated). This is a
method that I use in my research. |
