Our last Undergrad Seminar of the semester will be on Monday March 27th at 4:30 pm in BSB 108. Join Dr. Rajchgot for a talk titled “Squaring the Circle”.

See the abstract below:
Abstract: Is it possible to construct a square with the same area as a given circle using only a straightedge and compass? The ancient Greeks posed this question. It is a consequence of the transcendence of $\pi$ that the answer is "no". I'll discuss this story, as well as relevant mathematical background.

Hope to see everyone there!
