The secret lives of polynomial identities
Algebra & Discrete Mathematics| Speaker: | Bruce Reznick, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Fri, May 21 2010, 11:00AM |
Four borderline-astonishing polynomial identities will be given, and in each case, they will be both derived and "explained" as outcroppings of more profound mathematical phenomena. Because equations don't show up well on the calendar, I've placed them at http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~reznick/52110.pdf
