June 20 Day 834: More Than 15,000 Steps

Posted byJenny QuinnPosted inexploration, mathematics, travel, UncategorizedTags:,

It’s Day one of the ILAS Conference in Galway. My favorite math moment of the day—Naiomi Cameron’s talk on Riordan arrays. I admit to being a little biased since she is a collaborator, but it was the right mix of introduction, images, results, and intuition for me.

My favorite coincidence was following the blue dotted line on Google maps while simultaneously following a blue dotted line in real life.

Everything is so picturesque, that I didn’t really notice how far I have gone.

On the walk to NUI campus
Stopping to admire the scenery
A parade of mathematicians ( can you spy Richard Brualdi?)
More parade.
The conference welcome BBQ venue.
On Eyre Square
Evening sojourn.
No luck looking for sunset (at 10:07 pm)
Dig site in the Latin quarter.

Lots of math, lots of friends, and lots of walking. My knee is complaining just a touch— so I decided to ice it this evening. I’ll need to be more careful tomorrow.
