The “Friday Afternoon Mathematics Undergraduate Seminar” (FAMUS) is a weekly event consisting of announcements, talks, and faculty interviews. FAMUS takes place most Fridays at 3:00-4:00pm in Room 164 of the Adel Mathematics Building. Typically the first half of FAMUS consists of a talk on a mathematical topic while an interview of a faculty member takes place in the second half. FAMUS is hosted by Jeff Rushall.
Come join us for some entertaining talks! Refreshments always served.

Abstract: I’ll discuss what faculty members like me do during the summer. Without giving too much away, I did a little research, reviewed a paper, designed a new course, created a new course pack, taught a summer course, did a little traveling (some of it math-related), etc. I’ll show some fun pictures from my travels.
The faculty guest this week is Gabe Markou. [PDF of Flyer]
