  1. Spherical Cats and Ham Sandwiches Tuesday, March 30 7:00 pm Weber State University Lind Lecture Hall Room 126 First Annual Richards Math Lecture: DR. JONATHAN ROGNESS EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY: You must come for an hour (find me to let me know you’re there) and then also be able to tell me what your favorite part what or what you thought was the most interesting. (Worth a quiz…)

  2. Dr. Jonathan Rogness • Jonathan Rogness is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Univesity of Minnesota. His mathematical vizualizations have been featured in many publications including Science Magazine, and a mathematical video he created with Douglas Arnold that has over 1.7 million views on YouTube.

  3. The Talk • Come explore topology, an area of mathematics where circles are squares and a donut is the same as a coffee cup. After learning some basic concepts we’ll see examples of how topology applies in everyday life. Along the way we’ll learn about one-sided surfaces, subway maps, and a theorem which has amazing consequences ranging from meteorology to ham sandwiches. We’ll also learn what topology can tell us about the shape of our universe and experience 3D flythrough of various models of the universe. SUPER COOL!
