Temple Math Club is an active and 4 Star student club, which organizes weekly events on Fridays 4:00 PM to 5 PM (currently the meeting room is Wachman Hall 617).

We invite speakers on various mathematics and applied science fields, that could inspire our math, science, engineering majors and all other math enthusiasts. Sometimes we organize events outside campus, such as watching Math/Science movies.

Club officers are:

• Sabrina Harris
• Shreeya Chandra
• Anthony Wachinko
• Eric Albers

• Dr. Abraham Abebe

• Prof. Maria Lorenz
• William Worden

Growth in groups via linear algebra

Abstract: Finite groups are often studied using basic combinatorics and number theory, as in a first course in Abstract Algebra. For infinite groups, however, many of these techniques are unavailable. Since so many infinite groups play an important role in geometry and topology, different methods need to be developed for their study.

In this talk, I’ll introduce the growth of a group, which is perhaps the most basic notation of `size’ when the group is infinite. As we shall see, for certain classes of groups, growth can be studied using properties of directed graphs and basic linear algebra. We will assume no prerequisites beyond the definition of a group.

How structure affects probabilities, Moisey Guysinsky, Penn State Univesity

Abstract: I will discuss couple of problems where at the first look the probability to win is extremely low, but underlying structure allows winning strategy with decent chances. I will also talk about MASS program at the  Pennsylvania State University.

Math and Juggling
In this meeting we will explore some of the many connections between math and juggling. I will introduce siteswap, a system for representing juggling patterns with sequences of integers, and will derive a formula for the number of unique siteswaps of length n that can be juggled with $b$ balls. If time allows, I will also describe alternative ways of representing juggling patterns symbolically and visually.
