"On the model theory of geodesic differential equations II"
Geodesic differential equations form a classical family of differential equations, describing the free movement of a particle in a curved space. The purpose of this talk, divided in two parts, is to describe the possible model-theoretic behavior of such differential equations when the space is compact with negative curvature.

"The Review Continues"
We'll continue our review from last week. This week, we're actually defining a scheme, as well as giving a quick review of some of the associated topological properties.

"I'll prove the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra"
Gauss proved that complex polynomials always admit a root. I'll explain how he came to that conclusion and present a proof that rigorizes his argument in a nice way. You will only need to know a little vector calculus and the intermediate value theorem. If we have time, I'll show you why a flat triangle has angles that add up to π and why a triangle on a sphere doesn't.
