In this talk\, we will discuss w hat this experiment was and what the solutions represent. We will go over some handsome examples and learn the two main games in spectral geometry: Given a shape\, what sounds does it make? Given a list of sounds\, what sh ape does it represent? The second game is not complete\, so we will discus s what we *can* hear.\n\n \n DTSTART:20171201T170000Z DTEND:20171201T170000Z LOCATION:Graduate Lounge\, BURN 1024/1025\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montr eal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar - Broderick Causley URL:/mathstat/channels/event/graduate-student-seminar- broderick-causley-283067 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
