The Mathematics & Statistics Colloquium: Square Pegs and Round Holes
You are cordially invited to the October 27 Mathematics & Statistics Colloquium. Join us for light refreshments in the Reading Room at 3:00 pm, followed by a fascinating lecture in NH 294 at 3:10 pm.
Speaker: Professor Michele Intermont, Kalamazoo College
Topic: Square Peg - Round Hole?
Abstract: The Square Peg Conjecture dates from the early 1900s: given a curve in the plane, can you find a square whose vertices all lie on the curve? This question is still generating interest today. We'll talk about the history of this conjecture and those recent developments.
