Title: Can Computers Do Anything?
Speaker: Leah Marshall
Abstract: [Spoiler Alert: the answer is... no.] In this talk I will give an overview of computability theory. I will discuss the basic concepts and ideas of the field, the types of things we study, and give some fun examples of "computable" and "noncomputable" objects. This talk should be accessible to all math graduate students.
Note: The Graduate Student Seminar is mandatory for ALL graduate students!
