"Proofs from the Other Book"
Ken Yanosko
Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Humboldt State University

4 p.m.

It is well known that the late Paul Erdős used to say that God has a Book in which is written down the most elegant, most beautiful proof of every mathematical theorem. What is less well known is that the Other Side also has a Book of mathematical proofs. The proofs in this Other Book are not necessarily less elegant, or less beautiful; they are, however, more diabolical. Let us take a look at some of these proofs.

Don't forget coffee, tea and goodies at the Pre-Colloquium Tea at 3:30 in the 3rd Floor Open Area in the BSS building.
