DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/BC-Math/23/"
 >Beyond the Limits of Calculus</a>\nby Yechezkel Steiner as part of Brookl
 yn College Math Department Events\n\nLecture held in 1146 Ingersoll.\n\nAb
 stract\nIn calculus\, a limit can be thought of as the optimal solution ob
 tained as the distance to a point is brought towards zero. This allows us 
 to compute quantities such as derivatives and integrals. More broadly\, we
  can conceive of a limit as providing the 'optimal' or 'closest' solution 
 to some problem. In this talk\, we will explore how this broader idea of a
  limit appears as a constant and unifying theme across different branches 
 of mathematics. A background in linear algebra\, group theory\, or topolog
 y would be helpful\, though not required for this talk.\n\nFood and refres
 hments will be provided.\n
