The first meeting of fall 2021 was held on Friday, September 17 from 1:40 to 2:35 through Zoom. The mission of the club was discussed. The design (shown below) was mentioned, the price was set at $15, and the deadline to order a shirt was stated as October 1, 2021. Dr. Bob gave a presentation on "Groups: A Geometric Introduction." This was an introduction to frieze and wallpaper groups based largely on Section II.12 of Fraliegh's text (and so is primarily aimed at those in Introduction to Modern Algebra, MATH 4127/5127). The meeting was attended by 16 club members (including three faculty members, Beeler, Keaton, and Gardner). The meeting was recorded and the recording is available online.
The second meeting of fall 2021 was held Friday, November 5, following the delivery of the 2021 t-shirts. Dr. Bob gave a presentation on "Integral Domains and Fields of Quotients," which explained the details of the t-shirt image. The presentation is online in PowerPoint and a Zoom recording is available. The meeting was attended by 15 members (including 3 faculty members), some of whom are pictured below:
