Our very own Dr. Efton Park will be talking out "Paradoxes of Democracy." Everyone
is invited!
Abstract: What is the best way to conduct an election? We’ll explore some common ways to count ballots and see that counterintuitive results can occur. Along the way we’ll meet politicians, football teams, religious figures, apples, and mutant ninja turtles. No prior knowledge of voting methods is required!
The Math Club is open to anyone to attend – faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students of any major – so please feel welcome to join us at this or any future meeting to participate in the activities. To sign up for updates about future meetings, go to TCU Engage.

Chiara Damiolini from the University of Texas at Austin will be discussing "Conformal
Blocks and Moduli Spaces".
Abstract: Algebraic geometry is the study of varieties, which can be interpreted as solutions of polynomial equations. An effective method to do so is to let the coefficients of the polynomial equations vary, which geometrically means considering families of varieties. This will be the guiding principle of my talk, which will be focused on the interaction between representation theory, the geometry of moduli spaces of curves, and generalized theta functions.

Several TCU students participated in the "My Favorite Theorem" podcast, co-hosted
by our recent Green Honors Chair Dr. Kevin Knudson. Listen to the episode here!
