"Bell's Theorem"

Bell's theorem is one of the celebrated cornerstones in physics, being described as "the most profound discovery of science". In this talk we shall discuss this theorem from a mathematical perspective, and as an example we shall derive the CHSH inequality. We shall also see what more general questions this theorem raises. Knowledge of physics is not required, however some basic linear algebra will be used.
