A Year in the Life of an Itinerant Mathematician

Jennifer Paulhus, assistant professor of mathematics and statistics, will present "A Year in the Life of an Itinerant Mathematician."

Mathematics is not typically thought of as a global subject, and yet its universal language and absolute truths make it a perfect subject to transcend borders.

During her Harris Faculty Fellowship, Paulhus did mathematics research from Bristol, England, to Singapore, and from Calgary, Canada, to Talca, Chile.

She will talk about the mathematics she did during her travels and, while some of the talk will be targeted at students who have taken Grinnell's Abstract Algebra course, much of the talk will assume no more than general curiosity.

Grinnell College welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. You can request accommodations from Conference Operations and Events.

Important: The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
