Events
Astrophysics & Space Physics Seminar - Professor Emeritus Steve Spangler; Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Iowa
Special Lecture - Thomas Sinclair; Purdue University
Title: An introduction to continuous model theory
Abstract: The first order logic of metric structures is a new and rapidly developing field of mathematical logic. I'll give a basic introduction to this subject which helps to give a "peek under the hood" for the techniques motivating the colloquium talk.
Short Bio: Professor Thomas Sinclair is from Purdue University and works on Von Neumann Algebras, Model Theory of Metric Structures, Operator Systems and Ergodic Theory.
Physics and Astronomy Thesis Defense Seminar - David Fehr
Mathematics Colloquium - Thomas Sinclair; Purdue University
Title: Metric lattices
Abstract: A lattice is a partially ordered set so that each pair of elements has a least upper bound and greatest lower bound. I'll describe a class of lattices which admit natural compatible metric structures and give an attempt at what it means to construct continuous limits of sequences of finite metric lattices.
A History of the Telescope - presented by Gavin Frueh & Jacob Payne; Graduate Students; Department of Physics and Astronomy
Please join us for the Astronomy Public Talk series, where we host short, accessible talks on a wide range of astronomy and physics-related topics—free and open to the public! This event will feature a presentation by UI Physics and Astronomy graduate students Gavin Frueh and Jacob Payne, who will share a brief history of the telescope. A public observing session at the Van Allen Observatory will immediately follow this talk, weather permitting.
Public Observing Night - Van Allen Observatory
Please join the University of Iowa Physics & Astronomy Department as we use the Van Allen Observatory and small telescopes to tour the spring sky. To attend this Astronomy observation session, follow the signs in Van Allen Hall to the east elevator to reach the roof.
Blooming Plants: How to Care for Plants and Greenery
Drop in for a free workshop to design and decorate your own Chia Plant Buddy after the “Blooming Plants” program!
Chia Buddies: Create Your Own Study Buddy
This drop-in crafting activity will immediately follow “Blooming Plants,” a workshop where local experts will talk about basic plant care.
Maker Breaks at the Sciences Library: Shrinky Dinks
Get creative with chemical engineering by making your own shrinky dinks! Make your own design and use it to create your own bracelet or keychain.
