> deteriorates as we investigate further. Which election districts are fair?
> Am I feeling anxiety or trepidation? Is this image artificial or genuine?
> We will successfully answer none of these questions but still enjoy a romp
> into mathematics as the art and science of distinguishing things as I
> discuss some of my current research regarding symmetry, representation
> theory, and mathematical physics. I encourage attendance despite any prior
> mathematical trauma because most of what I will talk about will not feel
