9:20-9:30 Important announcement about Undergraduate Fellowship
9:30-10:30 "Projective Gauged Gravity", by Prof. Vincent G, Rodgers (U Iowa)
Professor Rodgers's research concerns theoretical particle physics; string theory. His research topics include string theory with applications in gravitation, cosmology, superstring theories as unified theory, gauge/gravity correspondence. He is also interested in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). His students normally interact with students at other universities and participate in interdisciplinary work with mathematics department.
11:00-12:00 "Blown Away: What Knot to Do When Sailing? by Sir Randolph Bacon III, cousin-in-law to the speaker"s (i.e. Prof. Collin Adams (Williams College))
From his wikipedia page: "Colin Conrad Adams is a mathematician primarily working in the areas of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and knot theory. His book, The Knot Book, has been praised for its accessible approach to advanced topics in knot theory. He is currently Francis Christopher Oakley Third Century Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, where he has been since 1985. He writes "Mathematically Bent", a column of math humor for the Mathematical Intelligencer."
