Previous Talks 

• Aayush Verma - A Crash Talk on Tannaka Duality (Date - 24 Dec`25) Winter Club
  Abstract  - I will introduce the idea of duality, in particular context of compact groups first and later build to non-compact cases. In essence, alongside, I will try to convey the feelings of dualities in mathematics and physics. 
  Venue & Timing - Online, Zoom, 03:30 PM IST (1530hrs IST)

• Special Seminar by Prof. V. K. Murty (Director, LMSI and University of Toronto) - From Euler to Grothendieck: Zeta(3), Log2, Pi jointly organized with Dept. of Mathematics, IITK. (Date - 17 Oct`25)

• Dr. Arpit Dwivedi (Department of Mathematics, CSJMU) - Matrix Multiplication: A Play of Perspectives (Date - 19 Mar`25)
  Abstract  -  I will show you five ways of multiplying matrices and show you how one of them is really useful and insightful.

• Dr. Arpit Dwivedi (Department of Mathematics, CSJMU) - The graph of the Gamma function (Date - 26 Oct`24)
  Abstract  -  In this talk, I intend to take you on a trek of collecting the gems from the mathematical side quests which are necessary to reach to our main quest which is having an idea about the shape of the graph of the Gamma function.
  Venue & Timing - Mathematics Lab, Ground Floor, SBS, 11 AM IST (1100hrs IST)
