Jan. 19: Science Pub edition #38. A Short History of Math Formulas Engraved on Granite. Our wildly popular Science Pub Series is back for the second half of a fifth incredible season! Enjoy lectures on scientific topics of general interest in our Arizona Room (main floor banquet room) over beer and snacks. The room opens at 5:00 PM and quite often is full by 6:00 PM. Avoid disappointment and come down early for dinner and a pint before the presentation which begins at 7:00 PM. This month's lecture will be presented by Presented by Dr. Edward Doolittle from the First Nations University of Canada at The University of Regina. On occasion, mathematicians will ditch their pens and pencils, and turn to more serious writing implements like pocket knives and chisels. We shall investigate a number of such turns of events, beginning with Archimedes, who decided that the usual charred stick was not good enough for his greatest discovery, through Gauss, who began planning his tombstone at the age of eighteen, to modern times, when a number of formulas were engraved into the rock faces of the Research and Innovation Centre at the University of Regina. 7:00 PM.
