MathSpace
When Alternate Fridays, from 18:30
What Talks and workshops on mathematical subjects
Members

The London MathSpace is a group which meets every other Friday to discuss mathematics. We host talks, problem-solving and programming events.

All our events are held at London Hackspace, 447 Hackney Road.

If you would like to do a talk or have any ideas for an event, please say so here or on our mailing list.

Next Event

Talks: Prisoners, Morality and Chocolate Fountains
20 February 2015 at 18:30
Hosted by MathSpace
This event will host our next round of talks:
  • 18:30 - Cake and puzzles.
  • 19:00 - Morality Metrics on the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma (Axel Wagner)
Tyler Singer-Clark recently (June 2014) published a paper dealing with measuring morality of different strategies for the iterated prisoners dilemma. I will talk about my attempt to reproduce the results. This talk will focus on:
  • The prisoners dilemma
  • The iterated prisoners dilemma, IPD tournaments
  • IPD Morality metrics and how they relate to success in the game
  • 19:30 - The Fluid Dynamics of Chocolate fountains (Adam Townsend)
Delicious, obviously, but can you do a PhD in it? We’ll find out how to make predictions for chocolatey flows, and then work out (a) whether we can use other types of chocolate, (b) whether we could make a pioneering ketchup fountain, and (c) why chocolate fountains fall inwards, not directly downwards.
  • 20:00 - Discussion and social time (and use of chocolate fountain)

Future events

All talks listed here are provisional. If you would like to give a talk of suggest a non-talks event, please add it to a date here. For questions and discussion, use our mailing list.
