# Special Semester on Mathematical Thinking

## Monday, 5th Nov 2018 — Friday, 31st May 2019

The next CARMA special semester programme is on the theme of Mathematical Thinking, examining the conceptual and neurological basis of mathematical thought and creativity, different aspects of which are associated with brain structures evolved for different purposes. It will explore links to machine learning, which plays a critical role as a model for cognition, as well as cognitive psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and pure and applied mathematics, through a series of workshops and other events. Please visit the semester's webpage for details. Events will also be listed on the events page of the CARMA website.

# CARMA Colloquium

# Sorting permutations with stacks

Knuth showed that a permutation can be sorted by passing it right-to-left through an infinite stack if and only if it \emph{avoids} a certain forbidden sub-pattern (231). Since then, many variations have been studies. I will describe some of these including new work of my PhD student Andrew Goh on stacks in series and pop-stacks".

# CARMA Seminar

# CARMA Workshop on Computer-Aided Proof

## Wednesday, 5th Jun 2019 — Friday, 7th Jun 2019

NewSpace (City Campus)

Computers are playing an increasingly important role in the creation and verification of mathematical proofs. This role is expected to become central in the future of mathematics. This workshop will bring together experts in computer proof assistants, formal proof verification systems, formal foundations of mathematics and related topics. The intended audience will be working mathematicians and graduate students, who are not necessarily experts in formal mathematics. Please visit the workshop website for more information.

# Data Science Down-Under

## Sunday, 8th Dec 2019 — Thursday, 12th Dec 2019

(Location to be decided)
