This talk will be split into two parts: LaTeX and Group Theory. In the first half of the math circle, Jacob will provide a brief introduction to LaTeX. LaTeX is a very useful program for writing up academic proofs and papers, and you can use it to make your work easier in all sorts of classes and projects. In the second half, we’ll explore the basics of “group theory,” a form of abstract algebra with some surprising applications.
Jacob Cordeiro is the author of four books, one an international best seller, Minecraft for Dummies. Currently, he is a student at Harvey Mudd College studying mathematics and computer science.
Please join us from 2 – 3:30pm in room ECSS 2.312 on the campus of UTD.

Sounds interesting. Wish I could be there ! I still remember trying to present group theoretic ideas using fruits as group elements. I am not sure how effective I was in conveying them though. On a separate note, I have a former student named Mehdi Drissi who is now a student at Harvey Mudd. He is interested in majoring in math and computer science also.
Oops. Forgot to sign my name – Frank Wang, President, OK School of Science and Math. PS We currently take out-of-state and out-of-country students for tuition and fees and room and board.
Hi Frank! You first inspired Jacob with Group Theory with Fruits! Let me know if you are ever in Dallas. Art Benjamin will be here in February.
