Splendor in the grass

It being a beautiful early October day today, we took our show on the road and laid ourselves out on a patch of the quad outside of Karpen Hall:


The day's activities consisted of laying the foundation for a study of general vector spaces. Above, the hard-working academicos and -cas are puzzling their way through spaces of polynomials.

I also handed out the first take-home exam today, due Wednesday. We'll see how that goes. I'm looking forward to being able to take a seat on Wednesday when Fiona and Niobe take charge!
