| 18th Feb 2013 | 20:30 | Academic | Abstraction in Mathematics - Dr. Julia Goedecke (DPMMS) | From 20:30-21:30
The word abstraction often sounds daunting to many non-mathematicians, and probably also to some mathematicians. However, abstraction is all around us: not only in mathematics, but also in the way we form terms and concepts in our language. For example we all group together houses, schools, college chapels and skyscrapers under the word "building". So if we know something that is common to all buildings (for example that they have to be maintained), then we know this for every building we meet without having to work it out anew in each case.
Mathematics builds heavily on abstraction. Some even say that abstraction is the main ingredient in mathematics. I will present some examples of mathematical concepts that arise as abstractions of well-known situations which every undergraduate has met. My research area - category theory - can be called the most abstract area of mathematics. We will try to explore the point of view and underlying principles that drive category theorists to their very abstract way of thinking.

on Wednesday February 6 starting 6.30pm and finishing at 7.50pm in the Master's Lodge. Everyone
in College, including partners, is welcome. The talks will finish in
time for dinner.
Our speakers this year have already taken us from Antibodies to Atoms
and from Christianity to Causality and the upcoming set of speakers
promises to be just as exciting. They are:
*Dr **Glen Rangwala* (Social and Political Sciences), who has decided to
take this as the stage of a major confession as he tells us about
"*Predicting the Middle East, or Hosni Mubarak: My Part in His
Downfall"*. (Expect the Egyptian tabloid to be present)
And:
*Dr Malte Groshe* (Physics), who will report from the frontier of
boundless materials in condensed matter research (Title TBC).
Please RSVP by e-mailing to (masters.events@trin.cam.ac.uk ) if you are
planning to come, or if you have any queries, and those fellows wishing
to dine after the talks are kindly requested to sign in by Tuesday
February 5.

| 4th Feb 2013 | 20:30 | Guest Speaker | Marine Ice Sheets - Prof. Grae Worster (DAMTP) | From 20:30-21:30
Melting of the great ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland has the potential to raise sea level significantly. Whereas many inland ice sheets are controlled by a balance between accumulation of snow at high altitudes and melting at low altitudes, marine ice sheets, which flow into the ocean, are controlled dynamically by the rate at which ice detaches from the submarine bedrock along which it flows to form floating ice shelves.
Fundamental aspects of the flow of marine ice sheets can be understood using viscous fluid dynamics. I shall describe recent laboratory and mathematical studies of marine ice sheets, which are helping us to understand what controls them from collapse

| 28th Jan 2013 | 20:30 | Guest Speaker | Understanding the Lambda Calculus: 40 Years in the Dark - Prof Martin Hyland (DPMMS) | From 20:30-21:30
The lambda calculus is the foundation for modern functional programming.
The pure calculus first appeared in a paper by Alonzo Church in 1932. I encountered it 40 years later, but only 40 years after that did I begin to understand what it is. The story is indicative of the nature of abstraction in mathematics.
