Subject: Announcing math talk



Dear Professor Langsam,

I would like to announce the following talk to the computer science students:

Tuesday, November 7, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM 

Ingersoll Hall Extension 432

Professor David Aulicino

Starting at a vertex of a Platonic solid, is it possible to walk on

the surface of it in a straight line so that we return to the vertex

we started at without passing through another? Surprisingly,

the answer depends on which Platonic solid we consider. We

will review what the Platonic solids are and explain how to

solve this problem for the tetrahedron. There will be lots of

pictures, animations, and 3D models. Students are encouraged

to bring scissors and tape!

Food and drinks will be available!

Best wishes,

Felix
