DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/MAC8028/27/"
 >Cantor Sets: a brief survey</a>\nby Dr. Sean McCurdy (National Taiwan Nor
 mal University) as part of Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held
  in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nCantor sets were intoduced by the num
 ber theorist HJS Smith in 1875 and have been an important source of exampl
 es\, counterexamples\, and inspiration ever since. They are one of the pro
 totypical fractals. And\, they are an active focus of research to this day
 . This talk aims to introduce Cantor sets to Masters students. After the b
 asic construction and some historical remarks\, we will survey a few diffe
 rent ways that modern mathematicians are still learning new things about C
 antor sets. Emphasis will be on pictures and big ideas.\n
