As part of our talk series, we are glad to announce a new talk next week by Dr. Manjil Saikia, from Cardiff University, UK. Please find further talk details below.
Speaker: Dr. Manjil Saikia, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Cardiff University, UK.
Title: An introduction to q-analysis.
Venue and time: Google Meet (online) | 02:30 PM (GMT +5:30), Wednesday, 3rd November, 2021.
Abstract: There is no formal definition of q-analysis, some prefer to just refer to it as q-series, a subject consisting of identities between certain kinds of sums and products. In this talk, we will try to see a few examples of the power and inherent beauty of the subject, via some known (and a few unknown, hopefully) objects in combinatorics and number theory. The talk would only assume a +2 level knowledge of calculus and combinatorics.
