Dear BATMath,
This is a friendly reminder about this week’s MTC meeting at Stanford, facilitated by Brian Conrad. The topic will be “Elliptic Curves” — Secure email, e-commerce, and online banking all rely on modern cryptography, which is carried out with concepts from algebra and geometry. A central concept in this direction is a special type of curve called an elliptic curve (they are not ellipses; the terminology is due to historical reasons). As always, the meetings are free and include a complimentary dinner.
Dinner will be available at 5:00 p.m., and the math session will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Parking Instructions:
Parking in lots A and C are free after 4 PM, they are in the vicinity of Nora Suppes Hall. There's a very small parking lot behind Nora Suppes Hall, and a slightly larger lot very nearby, just across Panama Street, and a much larger lot just across Campus Drive.
There are two parking garages (Stock Farm Garage and Via Ortega Garage) just a bit farther away.
Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you this week!
