You and your guests are cordially invited to attend a joint meeting of Delta X, a mathematics student interest organization at the University of Toledo, and the Ohio Gamma Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon, a national mathematics honor society, which will have an initiation ceremony for new members. Anyone interested in mathematics is welcome to attend. Dress is casual.
Professor Robert Hardt, who is a W. L. Moody Professor of Mathematics at Rice University in Houston, Texas, will be our speaker. He will also be giving the Shoemaker Lectures while he is here at the University of Toledo. His talk is entitled Some Unknown Optimal Shapes. His research interests include geometric measure theory, partial differential equations and continuum mechanics. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. at Brown University with Herbert Federer as his Ph.D. thesis advisor.
