 ical/1/">Introduction and Preliminaries</a>\nby Francesco Sica (FAU) as pa
 rt of FAU Reading Seminar\n\nLecture held in SE 215.\n\nAbstract\nThis sem
 inar series is devoted to quantum algorithms\, ending with Shor's and (pos
 sibly) Grover's algorithms.\nWe will follow Buchmann's recently published 
 book "Introduction to Quantum Algorithms"\, referenced in the link.\n\nWe 
 will schedule 6 talks in the Fall and 7 in the Spring\, including this one
 \, each devoted to approximately 20 pages of the book. It is strongly advi
 sed that all participants\, not only the speaker\, read the assigned mater
 ial in advance\, as we may need to skip some parts (note also that the boo
 k contains many typos).\n\nFall meetings every other Tuesdays 10-11 until 
 November 18.\nSpring meetings every other week (day and time TBA)\, starti
 ng the week of January 12\, running through the week of April 20.\n

 ical/2/">Two Talks</a>\nby Alibek Orynbassar and Nurdaulet Shynarbek (Sule
 iman Demirel University) as part of FAU Reading Seminar\n\nLecture held in
  SE 215.\n\nAbstract\nSpeaker: Nurdaulet Shynarbek\n\nTitle: Novel Represe
 ntations of $\\log 2$ Through Polynomial Continued Fractions\n\nAbstract: 
 This presentation explores new representations of the mathematical constan
 t $\\log 2$ using polynomial continued fractions. Building on previous wor
 k in continued fraction theory\, we investigate a conjecture by Zhu He whi
 ch proposes a specific polynomial continued fraction for $\\log 2$. We wil
 l demonstrate the validity of this conjecture and introduce an infinite fa
 mily of new polynomial continued fractions for $\\log 2$.\n\n*************
 ***********************\n\nSpeaker: Alibek Orynbassar\n\nTitle: Complete C
 lassification of Quadratic Irrationals with Period Two\n\nAbstract: This t
 alk presents a full classification of quadratic irrationals whose continue
 d fraction expansions have period length two. While it is known that the c
 ontinued fraction of N is periodic\, the distribution of period lengths is
  less understood. We establish precise conditions for the period-two case 
 and illustrate the results with numerical examples.\n\n~~~Note that this t
 alk is $\\mathbf{not}$ part of the reading seminar on quantum algorithms.~
 ~~\n\nNurdaulet Shynarbek is a PhD candidate in Mathematics and Statistics
  at SDU University\, where his research focuses on the polynomial continue
 d fraction representations of mathematical constants. He is particularly i
 nterested in the algorithms developed by the Ramanujan Machine and their a
 pplications in discovering new mathematical formulas. A Senior Lecturer at
  Narkhoz University \, Nurdaulet has a background in numerical methods and
  algorithmic development. His work is part of a broader effort to advance 
 computational approaches in pure mathematics.\n\nAlibek Orynbassar is a Se
 nior Lecturer in the Department of Pedagogy of Natural Sciences at SDU Uni
 versity in Kaskelen\, Kazakhstan\, a position he has held since July 2023.
  He is currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics and Natural Sciences at SDU
 .\n\nHe earned both his Master’s (2017) and Bachelor’s (2014) degrees 
 in Mathematics and Natural Sciences from SDU. From July 2022 to June 2023\
 , he was a Visiting Scholar at Teachers College\, Columbia University\, wh
 ere he expanded his expertise in mathematics education and research.\n\nPr
 ior to his current role\, he served as Mathematics Program Coordinator in 
 the Department of Education at SDU (2020–2022) and as Senior Lecturer (2
 017–2022). Earlier in his career\, he taught mathematics in secondary sc
 hools (2013–2017)\, where he prepared students for mathematics Olympiads
 . He has also contributed as a jury member for regional school mathematics
  Olympiads and scientific project competitions (2018–2020).\n
