Albion College Mathematics and Computer Science Colloquium

 Title: The Sound of Algebra Speaker: Michele IntermontAssociate ProfessorDepartment of Mathematics and Computer ScienceKalamazoo College Abstract: Can you really hear algebra? One place to try is in a bell tower. Change ringing uses permutation groups to give order to the ringing of the bells. This talk will give a little background on change ringing and use algebra to ease the task of composing for the bells by answering the question of whether or not understanding falseness for one method (aka song) translates to understanding it for other methods. This talk grew out of an undergraduate senior thesis. Location: Palenske 227 Date: 9/14/2006 Time: 3:10 PM
