The London MathSpace is a group which meets every other Friday to discuss mathematics. We host talks followed by questions and discussion.
If you would like to do a talk, please say so here or on our mailing list.
Next Event - Friday 23 Jan 2015 - Malware Detection, Bots & AI and Folding Tube Maps
Our next MathSpace event will be held on Friday the 23rd of January from 18:30 onwards in the classroom. The post on the mailing list is here.
18:30 - Cake and puzzles
19:00 - Folding Tube Maps (Matthew Scroggs)
How to fold platonic solids from tube maps and how to use the ideas behind this to prove that there are exactly 5 platonic solids.
19:15 - AI and Bots in Game Design (Martin Clarke)
An introduction to video game AI, including tactics and techniques that make bots smart, the areas humans still have the advantage, and where this may soon end. What does it mean to solve a game? And how this can be a complex challenge even for very simple games.
19:30 - Regime detection in multivariate stochastic processes (Alex Bolton)
Regime detection in multivariate stochastic processes A simulation technique for detecting change points is applied to the detection of malware.
19:45 - Discussion and social time
Future events
The talks listed here are provisional and subject to change.
The next two events will be a series of shorter talks. There is still space if you would like to give one.
