Matemática para la mochila del 4/11
by Nestor Aguilera
Les recuerdo que este viernes próximo Ricardo Toledano hablará en el ciclo
"Matemática para la mochila" que organiza el Departamento de Matemática de
la FIQ/UNL.
Ricardo nos contará sobre los esfuerzos para encontrar una fórmula general
(resolvente) para obtener las raíces de polinomios de grado 5, y las ideas
detrás de la demostración de la imposibilidad de tal fórmula.
Como en ocasiones anteriores, nos reuniremos para tomar un café a las 10 hs
en el Departamento (1er piso) y la conferencia será a las 10.30 hs en el
aula 9, todo en el edificio de Santiago del Estero 2829 (Santa Fe).
Nos vemos,

I would appreciate your consideration in announcing this advertisement for
postdoc positions in all areas of Computer Science.
*POSTDOC** POSITIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, FEDERAL
UNIVERSITY OF BAHIA - BRAZIL*
Full time postdoctoral positions are available in all areas of Computer
Science in the Department of Computer Science at the Federal University of
Bahia (UFBA), in Salvador, Brazil.
We are looking for outstanding candidates holding a PhD in Computer
Science/Engineering or related fields with a strong Computer
Science/Engineering background. Duties will involve researching in any
Computer Science field, writing for highly ranked journals and top tier
conferences, and possibly co-advising undergraduate and graduate students.
Ideal start date is early November 2016. The initial appointment is for one
year, with a monthly rate of BRL 4,100 (no taxes). An extension of the
initial appointment is possible based on the progress in research and on
the availability of funding.
Interested candidates should contact Christina von Flach (flach(a)ufba.br)
and Rafael Melo (melo(a)dcc.ufba.br) ideally before October 20, 2016 (use the
subject heading "DCC/UFBA Postdoc Position"), and include:
1. a short cover letter describing the applicant's interest in the
position;
2. a brief research statement;
3. CV containing the full list of publications;
4. a selection of the latest most relevant publications;
5. name and contact details of at least two references.
We will start evaluating applications soon after October 20, and will
continue accepting applications until the positions are filled.
*COMPUTER SCIENCE AT UFBA*
The Department of Computer Science at UFBA is a young and growing faculty
that has already acquired an impressive international visibility in many
computer science disciplines, and offers great opportunities to grow and
collaborate with top scientists.
Our Academic Staff includes 40 researchers, covering several research
areas, such as Big Data, Computer Networks, Computer Science Education,
Distributed Systems, Formal Methods, Graph Theory and Optimization, HCI
(Human-Computer Interaction), Logic, Real-Time Systems, Software
Engineering, Visual Computing, and Web. The Department offers several
undergraduate courses and runs two graduate programs, in Computer Science
and in Mechatronics Engineering.
*LOCAL INFORMATION*
The main campus of Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) is located in
Salvador, the largest city on the northeast coast of Brazil and the capital
of the Northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. Salvador is also known as the
Brazil's capital of happiness due to its countless popular outdoor parties,
including its street carnival.

*RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION (RDI) AT DCC/UFBA *
Over the past recent years, our Research Groups and Labs have raised a
significant amount of funds (over BRL 20 mi in the last ten years) to
support our activities. National and international Government agencies
provide the majority of sponsored research funds. The DCC/UFBA also has a
history of collaboration with industry.
Some important recent efforts may be highlighted: (1) Fraunhofer IESE and
SECTI - The UFBA and the Bahia State Government reached an agreement with
the German Fraunhofer Institute to establish a Fraunhofer Project Center at
UFBA; this has been considered as a notable endeavor to improve our
interaction with industry. (2) Petrobras, the largest corporation in Brazil
- The DCC/UFBA along with the training center in Technology in Industrial
Automation (CTAI) signed a contract for a project of intelligent wells,
involving Computational Intelligence technologies, Computer Vision and
Pattern Recognition in Images.
We also support and encourage our researchers to develop research programs
that meet industries needs through the MCTI (the Brazilian Ministry of
Science, Technology and Innovation)) project grants scheme. As a result,
our team has developed a number of projects with both companies and
government organizations with fundraising for infrastructure, and support
for RDI.

Matemática para la mochila el 4/11
by Nestor Aguilera
Hola gente,
Me alegra invitarlos para la próxima reunión de "matemática para la
mochila", que será el 4/11.
Esta vez escucharemos a Ricardo Toledano sobre ""A veces las de 5to grado
son imposibles...", quien nos contará un poco de historia sobre los
intentos para obtener una fórmula general para resolver las ecuaciones
polinómicas.
El cronograma es como en las versiones anteriores: 10 hs café en el Depto
de Matemática, 10.30 hs charla en el aula 9. Más abajo incluyo más detalles.
Nos vemos,
Néstor
===============================================
- La próxima reunión de "Matemática para la mochila" será el viernes 4 de
noviembre.
- Cronograma: 10 hs café en el Depto. de Mate (1er piso), 10.30 hs charla
en el aula 9 (3er piso) (como en las ocasiones anteriores).
- Título: "A veces las de 5to grado son imposibles..."
- Resumen: Recorreremos la historia del pensamiento matemático relativa al
problema de hallar una resolvente para las raíces de un polinomio.
Comenzaremos por los tiempos del apogeo babilónico (unos 1600 años AC) y
llegaremos hasta los tiempos de Abel y Galois en el siglo XIX, pasando por
el período del Renacimiento, que es cuando se hallaron las resolventes para
polinomios de grado 3 y 4. Intentaremos mostrar cómo se llegó a concebir la
"imposibilidad" de hallar una resolvente para polinomios de grado 5, en qué
sentido esto es imposible matemáticamente y cómo se llegó a demostrar que,
efectivamente, tal resolvente no puede existir.
- Disertante: Ricardo Toledano
Lic. en Mat. de la Universidad Nacional de Río IV, Dr. en Matemática de la
Universidad Nacional del Litoral. Actualmente es Profesor Adjunto en la
FIQ/UNL. Sus intereses en investigación son la teoría de números, la
geometría algebraica y sus aplicaciones a la teoría de códigos.
