CoronaVirus
Lecture Series
Organizer: Alex Iosevich
The virus is roaming the earth like the Grim Reaper, but mathematics
goes on. In the coming days and weeks I am going to post a series of
math videos for the University of Rochester community and beyond.
These are going to range from undergraduate "Basic Skills" topics to
research level material. All the lectures will be designed to be
accessible to the widest possible audience.
My current plan is to give the lectures live by Zoom once a week and
then post the links to the lectures on this web page.
Please write to me at iosevich@gmail.com with comments and
suggestions!
Please stay healthy and safe!
The .pdf files of the beamer presentations that will be used to make
the corresponding videos can be obtained by clicking on talk
postings below.
