What is...? Seminar - Andreu Ferre Moragues
Title: What is Monsky's Theorem?Speaker: Andreu Ferre MoraguesAbstract: We will see that if we try to dissect a square in $n$ triangles of equal area, then $n$ must be even. This theorem was fi rst proven by Monsky in 1970, and we will see the proof he gave as a beautiful application of 2-adic numbers that also relies on combinatorial topology (Sperner's lemma).Seminar URL: http://math.osu.edu/whatis
