We will try to shed some light on this buzzword\, at least as far as the basic math is concerned. We will focus on the role of noncommutativity in the theory of quantum mechanics. For the pure math students\, there will be stars and words that end in '- morphism'\; for the applied math people\, one or two differential equation s\; for the statisticians\, Kullback-Leibler divergences.\n DTSTART:20180928T160000Z DTEND:20180928T170000Z LOCATION:Room 1025 (Lounge)\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\ , 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Mathematics & Statistics Graduate Student Seminar - Renaud RaquƩpas URL:/mathstat/channels/event/mathematics-statistics-gr aduate-student-seminar-renaud-raquepas-289972 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
