General Info

• Meeting times: Weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 5pm, room 203
• Organizer: prof. Ricardo Fabbri, Ph.D. Brown University

Format

• At every meeting a member proposes to present something for the next meeting.
• If nobody proposes to present anything, and in the abscence of further proposals, the organizer will switch the meeting to a reading group focusing on a topic or on seminal papers that would be important to read.
• We'll try to invite speakers but that's not really the focus.

Readings

The organizer suggests

• Seminal and recent publications by Jan Koenderink
• Seminal and recent publications by Steve Zucker, Yale University
• Topics from Pattern Theory and mathematics (specially differential geometry and algebraic geometry) that can be of current interest.
• Excellent books to read:
  • A Calculus of Ideas: A Mathematical Study of Human Thought - Ulf Grenander
  • The Road to Reality - Sir Roger Penrose. The advanced mathematics used in the physical sciences, exposed in a beautiful illustrated way from the very beginning. From complex numbers to fourier analysis to manifolds.
