The ”Mathematics for Humans” reading group will have its first meeting of the semester on Friday, December 10th at 3:15pm. Sponsored by the departmental climate committee, the goal of this group is to promote discussion in the department about what it means to do mathematics and be a mathematician. Note that this is our second meeting .
All are invited! From undergraduate students through senior faculty, we hope that diverse members of the department are represented. Unlike most reading groups, no homework or reading is required outside of the meetings. Each meeting will feature a short piece, and we will begin with a silent period to read it, followed by discussion in small groups.
Hope to see you there.
-Ian and Jamie (on behalf of the climate committee)
