Special lecture on

Application of invariant theory to automatic recognition problems

(guest lecture for MA108: Mathematics as a Profession and discipline, Fall 2011)

by Prof. Mimi Boutin.


Intro Song

A great song about a special type of groups (hilarious if you know some advanced math)

Three projects discussed

  • Rosetta Phone: A portable device for reading and translating signs written in Arabic-like characters
  • MERGE:
  • GARI:

Groups and transformation groups


Invariant theory


Alumni Liaison

Abstract algebra continues the conceptual developments of linear algebra, on an even grander scale.
