I'll tell you about three different types of billiards (inner billiards, outer billiards and tiling billiards), and I'll explain some of the research I've done in two of these areas. Workshop: In the workshops after the talk, we will explore problems in all three kinds of billiards. Activities will include lots of drawing and paper folding, which we will use to prove and understand results from the talk. Workshop: Part 1) April Thursday 18 5:30 - 6:30, MW 724; Part 2) April Friday 19 5:30 - 7:30 pm, MW 724 Math Tower 724 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
