Mathematical research and discoveries have been highlighted recently through several avenues. Vanderbilt University is hosting a series of workshops focused on "Groups in Geometry, Analysis and Logic," emphasizing the central role of group theory in mathematics and its connections to other fields. The workshops aim to foster collaboration and provide educational opportunities for graduate students and early-career mathematicians. The initial workshop, scheduled for May 28 through June 1, 2025, will specifically address Groups in Logic. In other news, Cesare Tronci delivered a PAP/MAS Colloquium at Nanyang Technological University on "Koopman trajectories in nonadiabatic quantum-classical dynamics."
The mathematical community is also celebrating the 238th Carnival of Mathematics, organized by Aperiodical. This event showcases a variety of mathematical art and engaging content. This month's carnival dives into the number 238, noting it is 2 × 7 × 17, the sum of the first 13 primes, and a "triprime." The community has contributed interesting facts about 238, including its connection to Uranium-238 and its representation as "EE" in Hex. The carnival also highlights mathematical blog posts and activities, such as Peter Cameron's reflections on compactness and government censorship in research, and Jeremy Kun's announcement of a new book on practical math for programmers.
In related news, PDQ Shor, described as the smarter brother of Peter Shor and a Physicist/Computer Scientist/Mathematician/Astrologer/Psychic, has reportedly passed away. Known for his concept of unnatural proofs and contributions to quantum computing theory, PDQ Shor is credited with creating the perpetual Turing machine and reverse engineering his brother’s quantum space work. Despite his contributions to the field, there are some discrepancies with his actual existence and this could be an April Fools day joke.
