The Mathematics Colloquia is a series of talks by the Willamette University Math Department and visiting speakers. These talks are aimed at faculty and undergraduate math students and will introduce the audience to fun, interesting applications of undergraduate mathematics, as well as more advanced topics in mathematics research. Unless otherwise noted, colloquium talks will be held Thursdays at 4:15 pm in Ford 102 or on Zoom (see weekly emails for details). We hope you can join us!
