 wnian motionMaria Gordina\nAbstract:IBrownian motion was originally observ
 ed by Robert Brown who was examining pollen grains suspended in water unde
 r a microscope. This is an example of a random or stochastic process\, whi
 ch found many applications: from describing the random erratic movement of
  molecules in physics to modelling the behavior of financial markets.  In
  1905 Einstein made a detailed study of the Brownian motion in which he po
 stulated certain properties (axioms) that should hold.  In 1923 mathemati
 cal Brownian motion was born when a famous mathematician\, Norbert Wiener\
 , showed how to construct a random function W(t) describing the molecules 
 position at time t which satisfied Einstein's axioms. We will talk about t
 he fascinating history of the Brownian motion and its applications.\n19:00
 Invisible Cities: On ideas in number theory and analysisLillian Pierce\nAb
 stract:Often in mathematics\, we set our sights on proving a particular th
 eorem. If we are successful\, we then present to our audience an array of 
 methods we have assembled to get the better of the problem at hand. In thi
 s lecture\, we will do something different: we will set our sights on a pa
 rticular idea\, and then follow it as it shape-shifts in the mathematical 
 literature. Can we spot it in all its disguises over the course of a centu
 ry? By studying its mutability can we better recognize its essential utili
 ty? This approach will send us on an unusual path\, scuttling across decad
 es of mathematics\, and from analysis to number theory\, and back again. W
 e will explore how accidental encounters with papers spanning 90 years led
  to a new (or old?) theory\, and a realization that “unrelated” well-k
 nown theorems share a very interesting structure deep under their surface.
  (People of all ages are welcome\; familiarity with series and integrals w
 ill be helpful).\n20:00Panel discussionmoderated by Magdalena Balcerak Jac
