Title: Yet Another Friendly Talk About Cobordism
Abstract: TBA
“A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.”
~Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
The state of Kentucky is a leader in the global focus on local foods and the sustainable agricultural movement. This lecture is the first of an ongoing conversation about the human piece of sustaining community. Join us in a conversation with chef/entrepreneur/community leader Ouita Michel in discussing how to take Mandela’s ideas of remaking the world around you to reflect the humanity of others and apply them to the business of building good community in Lexington.
Thursday, March 27 from 6-8pm in the Hardymon Theater (Marksbury Building)
Please join us in a celebration of student writers and instructors in WRD! This year's spring gallery, "Written Word, Written World," is up and running in the Young Library, and until the end of the month, work created by students in WRD classes will be on display on the projection walls in the basement hub, as well as in cores 3 and 4. The gallery features dozens of compositions created in WRD classes over the past year: videos, podcasts, photo essays, websites, and more. This gallery not only celebrates the achievements of our students, but it also provides an excellent teaching tool for instructors who wish to take students on a field trip to the library to view student work.
The gallery will be accessible any time the library is open until the end of March, and we will hold a gallery reception the week after spring break, on Tuesday, March 25 from 2-4 PM in Young Library Alumni Gallery, room 1-65. Refreshments will be served. Please join us if you can!

Title: Applying Bernstein's Theorem to Matrices
Abstract: Bernstein's Theorem is a theorem that bounds the best approximation error of a smooth function in terms of an ellipse where the function is analytic in its interior. In this talk, we will review this theorem and apply it to symmetric banded matrices to show that the entries of the resulting matrix (after a smooth function is applied) are bounded in an exponentially decaying manner away from the main diagonal.

It is uncontroversial that Proto-Indo-European *-nti# regularly becomes -t /d/ in Old Irish, as in berait ‧berat ‘(they) carry’ (< *bheronti). Nevertheless, my principal claim in this talk is that just in the copula, and under certain specifiable conditions, the same sequence results instead in -n. In the course of using this new phonological rule to uncover a couple of hitherto unnoticed copular forms, I also comment on morpho-phonological curiosities in the paradigm of the Old Irish copula more generally.
