Math Club Talk: "What do those engineers do?"

This Tuesday April 17 at noon in TL 128, the Math Club is hosting the talk "What do those engineers do?" by Dr. Jim Davis of the University of Richmond. Dr. Davis has done research in the area of mathematical coding theory, including some research in connection with the technology company Hewlett-Packard. A brief abstract is listed below. Free food and drinks will be provided. I hope to see you there.

Abstract: Based on a sabbatical experience at Hewlett-Packard, I will describe some of the math I used to implement a wireless transmission scheme in the mid 1990s. This talk is rated G, meaning that anyone who has completed a high school trigonometry course will be able to understand the talk.
