Credibility Theory, Mathematica, the Geometry of Perception, the Math on Rap, the Millenium Problems, GPS for Archaeologists, and Radar Images are among the subjects to be expounded in this term's M*A*T*H Colloquium, sponsored by the Sonoma State University Mathematics Department.
Lectures will be given from 4 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays in Darwin 108, each week through May 14 (excluding April 9). Host of the series this term is SSU Mathematics Professor Ben Ford.
On April 16the lecture will be given in conjunction with the Department's annual Math Festival. Following the traditional Awards Ceremony, the speaker will be Lofti Zadeh of UC Berkeley, the world-wide founder of the celebrated theories of Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy Logic.
The Department expresses its gratitude to those donors and volunteers who have made possible this series, which is not supported by any state funds.
