Congrats on great presentations everyone. I heard more physics last week than I have for a while. In particular I enjoyed Nick’s presentation on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It was a pretty crazy application of a lot of different kinds of math.  He also made me feel like I understood the physics despite not really knowing much about it. Providing the illusion of understanding is a sign of a great presentation. Even though it wasn’t relevant to our class it was cool seeing how some algebraic geometry slipped in there. Looking forward to everyone’s presentations next week!
