Week of October 18 - 22

Monday, October 18

 7:30 PM KME MEETING  - Room 459 MSC
      On Monday, October 18th, the Bowling Green chapter of Kappa Mu
      Epsilon, a national mathematics honorary society, will be
      holding its first meeting.  The meeting will be held in room 459
      in the Math Science building, and it will begin at 7:30 PM.
      This is a great opportunity to meet other students involved in
      the math department!  All students (and faculty) are welcome, so
      feel free to bring your friends.

      We will be having free food, and Dr.  Curtis Bennett will be
      speaking on "Lights out," a very fun (but addicting) game that
      has been entertaining many children and adults for years.  This
      is a great talk, and I encourage everyone to attend!  Please
      help us make this a fantastic year!  Please e-mail Pam
      Richardson, pamr@bgnet.bgsu.edu if you have any questions or
      concerns.

Tuesday, October 19

 2:30 ALGEBRA SEMINAR  - Room 447 MSC
      Steve McCleary, Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU
      "Lattice-ordered permutation groups, Part V"
      This is the fifth in a series of talks.

 2:30 SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATION SEMINAR  - Room 459 MSC
      Neal Carothers, Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU
      "Details from Daubechies"
      Abstract: This talk will give a brief introduction to the
        Fourier transform, and then Fourier transform techniques will
        be used to outline the proof of the existence of the "mother
        wavelet" which is orthogonal to the scaling function and whose
        translates and dilates are mutually orthogonal.
