The Mathematics and Statistics Department invites you to attend the first lecture of the academic year.

The speaker will be Dr. Chris Moseley, who is a professor of mathematics at Calvin University. Meet us on September 8 at 3:00 pm in NH 282 for light refreshments, immediately followed by the lecture in NH 276.

Title: 1+2+3+4+…=-1/12 (?!?)

Abstract: Eight years ago, the YouTube channel Numberphile posted an infamous video that claimed this equation was correct. How could this possibly be true? Come find out how bogus this is- or maybe there’s something to it. We’ll learn some interesting math
along the way.
