Speaker: Dr. Riccardo Pedrotti

Title: Field notes on my first 7 years in the US

Abstract: You already heard me talk about math Wednesday, so for this seminar I decided to share some of the field notes I took in the 7 years I spent in the US, what I found surprisingly nice, bad or just surprising.
