Boom Bust Boom: A Story about Copper, the Metal that Runs the World

Boom Bust Boom: A Story about Copper, the metal that runs the world
Author Bill Carter, writes from “a first-rate writer in the fascinating tradition of Junger and Krakauer” (Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall), a sweeping account of civilization’s complete dependence on copper and what it all means for people, nature, and the global economy.

Date:  Thursday, February 20, 2020
Time:  6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Location:  Second Floor, Cotilla Gallery

Q & A to follow moderated by Gary P. Gershman, J.D., Ph.D, NSU College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

COPPER is a miraculous and contradictory metal, essential to nearly every human enterprise. For most of recorded history, this remarkably pliable and sturdy substance has proven invaluable: not only did the ancient Romans build their empire on mining copper but Christopher Columbus protected his ships from rot by lining their hulls with it. Today, the metal can be found in every house, car, airplane, cell phone, computer, and home appliance the world over, including in all the new, so-called green technologies.

Yet the history of copper extraction and our present relationship with the metal are fraught with profound difficulties. Copper mining causes irrevocable damage to the Earth, releasing arsenic, cyanide, sulfuric acid, and other deadly pollutants into the air and water. And the mines themselves have significant effects on the economies and wellbeing of the communities where they are located.

Halmos College Presents a Talk on Soccer Tournament Matrices

On Thursday, January 30, at 12:35 p.m. Halmos mathematics faculty member Lei Cao, Ph.D. will present a talk titled “Soccer Tournament Matrices”.

In this talk, he will present a combinatorial object, soccer tournament matrices, which is understandable to undergraduate students and gives a taste of combinatorial matrix theory.

Consider a round-robin tournament of n teams in which each team plays every other team exactly once and where ties are allowed. A team scores 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 point for a loss, then each particular result leads to a soccer tournament matrix. Let T(R, 3) denote the class of all soccer tournament matrices with the row sum vector R. In this talk, I will explore some necessary conditions of a vector R, such that T(R, 3) is nonempty with the audience, and then for some R, I will show an algorithm to construct a soccer tournament matrix whose row sum is R.

Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography department of mathematics hosts the mathematics colloquium series in Parker Building, Room 338. For more information about the math colloquium series, please contact mathematics faculty member Jing Chen, Ph.D. (jchen1@nova.edu) or Evan Haskell (haskell@nova.edu).
