Fluid dynamics seminar
Seminar takes place after colloquium, and
does not take place if there is no colloquium.
Abstract: Fluid Dynamics will be
meeting as usual.
The "Dynamics" refers to
the topics of conversation, which is as likely as anything to deal with
the Washington Football Club.
Pizza, including a vegetarian option, and
wings are provided.
Donations for fluid dynamics refreshments
are requested. The staff is currently underfunded for this.

Opportunities
at various federal agencies
1. (Thanks to Louise Raphael) The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Open House
Aberdeen
Proving Ground, MD on October 18 & 19, 2017, pending approval.
Details,
as they become available, will be posted on https://www.arl.army.mil/opencampusopenhouse/.

2. National Science Foundation, Division of Mathematical Sciences
2018
Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internship Program
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) aims to provide opportunities to enrich
the training of graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences through the
provision of an NSF Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internship Program. This
program will provide an opportunity for mathematical sciences doctoral students
to participate in internships at national laboratories, industry and other
approved facilities. Participation in an internship will provide hands-on
experience of the use of mathematics in a nonacademic setting. The internships
are aimed at students who are interested in understanding the application of
advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to "real world"
problems, regardless of whether the student plans to pursue an academic or
nonacademic career.
Application deadline: February 1,
2018, 11:59PM EST
How to Apply: Applications and supporting materials must be submitted at
https://www.zintellect.com/Posting/Details/3602
Program Information: Detailed information about the internship can be found at

INTERESTING ARTICLES AND WEBSITES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Described as one of the greatest mathematicians of our
time, he created new theories in algebraic geometry
and computer aided proofs of mathematics as well as the
foundations of mathematics itself.
He was found dead in his
apartment on September 30th. He was known to be sick in the days
before.
