Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Natalia Komarova from the Mathematics Department at UC Irvine has accepted our invitation as a guest speaker at the 2010 All-Girls Math Tournament on April 18.
An accomplished author, Prof. Komarova is a renowned expert in applying mathematics to emerging disciplines such as biology and linguistics. In particular, she makes mathematical models of different diseases to help doctors find better methods of curing them. She also studies how different people see colors, and how humans come up with names for colors. For our younger audience in grades 3-8, Prof. Komarova had chosen a special topic on "Mathmatics of Colors".
The All-Girls Math Tournament is now open for registration and the spaces are filling up quickly. If you know of anyone that might be interested in the event, please refer them to us at Orange County Math Circle (www.ocmathcircle.org).
Thanks so much!
