1:00 pm in Altgeld Hall,Wednesday, March 8, 2006

#### The Leaving Exam System in Ireland and Australia with comparisons to systems used in the US for college aptitude and achievement testing in mathematics.

3:00 pm in 343 Altgeld Hall,Wednesday, March 8, 2006

#### Introduction to spinors

###### Sheldon Katz   [email] (UIUC Math and Physics)

Abstract: I will introduce spinors in various dimensions. Rather than being pedagogical, this talk is intended as preparatory for a later discussion of supersymmetry.

4:00 pm in 245 Altgeld Hall,Wednesday, March 8, 2006

#### Proper Holomorphic Mappings, and their links with other parts of mathematics

###### John D'Angelo (Department of Mathematics, UIUC)

Abstract: I will discuss how the topic of proper holomorphic mappings from the theory of functions of several complex variables ties in with analysis, geometry, algebra, and discrete math.
