a talk on game theory
This Wednesday the Econ department has a visitor giving a talk on game theoretic concepts. For those of you who just finished CMPSC 112, you've actually had the beginnings of exposure to this space from our brief exploration of Tic-Tac-Toe: trees and their evaluation for gameplay and decision making. The speaker is the maintainer of the the Gambit project, and I think it could be interesting to a number of you.
I'd appreciate if you could attend this talk. We'll make an exodus from Alden together at about 15:55 on Wednesday and see what our guest has to say. I'm hoping it will be interesting.
a talk on gender and sexuality
Tuesday is the opening of the show In Between in the Penelec-Bowman-Megahan gallery. The show has a very activist take on issues surrounding gender and sexuality. Having read many of the interviews associated with the show, and having met Zanele Muholi, our Diversity Scholar in Residence, I think that you should consider going to the opening at 7PM on Tuesday if you can.
(I don't like to "require" things like this, but if you would prefer things in more absolute terms: the topical talk that is related to our discipline is required, and I think the gallery opening is just a neat opportunity that you can take part in.)
