Math Club talk about proving the infinitude of primes

This may be of interest since we have already discussed one of the proofs. And there's pizza!

Title: Four Proofs of the Infinitude of Primes

Abstract: We will discuss one of the most beautiful theorems in all of mathematics – the infinitude of primes. We will give four proofs with variations: Euclid's indirect proof, Euler's analytic proof, Furstenberg's topological proof, and Chaitin's complexity proof. These proofs reflect the evolution of techniques in number theory and in mathematical proofs in general.

Date: Tuesday September 27, 2016 
Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm 
Location: 1146 Ingersoll Hall 

Pizza will be served.
