Subject: Mathematics Colloquium, Wednesday, March 29
Submitter: Ken Kaminsky, Professor, Mathematics

Message:
This week’s mathematics colloquium speaker is Danrun Huang, Professor of Mathematics at St. Cloud State University. His talk is titled "Honeybees and Fibonacci Identities."

Abstract: How many times have you seen or heard of the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,...? From elementary to advanced math courses, from the leaves on a stem to the surface of a pineapple, from snail shells to beehives, Fibonacci numbers are found everywhere! There are so many patterns and laws hidden in a sequence of Fibonacci numbers, and a lot of them can be formulated as identities. People have used various ways to prove Fibonacci identities.

In this talk, I will show how honeybees can prove scores of Fibonacci identities, from the simple to the very sophisticated. This talk is adapted from what the author presented at the 2005 MathFest in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The talk is presented in PowerPoint and is designed for all students and faculty.

Subject: Critical Conversation: Art, Truth & Politics
Submitter: Douglas E Green, Professor, English

Message: At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, 5 April 2006, in OM 18, ENG 480: Theory and Criticism is hosting a Critical Conversation on Vocation focused on dramatist Harold Pinter's Nobel Lecture: "Art, Truth, and Politics." In preparation for our 90-minute discussion (we have more time than that if we need to run over), we would like participants to go to www.nobelprize.org, to watch the 46-minute video of the speech, and, if they like, to download and printout the text of the speech. Watching the video is a powerful experience, because Pinter has 'engineered' his performance. While we might see a bit of the video to start, we don't want to rely on the internet stream when we gather. Everyone interested and able to come is welcome; if you have questions or plan to bring a class or small group, please contact Doug Green (x1187, green@augsburg.edu).

Subject: Israeli and Palestinian Elections: Peace?
Submitter: Bradley P Holt, Professor, Religion

Message: Dr. Ned Hanauer, a nationally known expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will be speaking at Augsburg on Wednesday, April 5, at 3:30 in the Marshall Room of Christensen Center. His topic will be "After the Palestinian & Israeli Elections: What Are the Peace Prospects?"

Edmund Hanauer is the director of SEARCH for Justice and Equality in Palestine/Israel (SEARCH). He has a BA from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in Political Science from American University. His dissertation focused on the relationship of American Jews to the state of Israel.

Before starting SEARCH in 1972, Hanauer taught political science, history, and international relations at Babson College as well as at the University of Maryland's European division.

In addition to numerous lectures at leading universities and talks to Jewish, Christian, civic, educational, and human rights groups, Hanauer has spoken twice to the Nieman Fellows in Journalism at Harvard and twice to the State Departmentâs Open Forum of the Secretary of State. His address to the City Club of Cleveland was televised nationally three times by C-SPAN. The City Club talk as well as a speech to the Cambridge Forum were broadcast by radio stations across the US.

Hanauer's articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict have appeared in 30 major newspapers, and he has been interviewed numerous times on TV and radio, including National Public Radio.

COMMENTS ON NED HANAUER

"Over the years I have found Ned Hanauer to be not only a source of reliable information on the Middle East, but a passionate believer in creating the conditions for social justice in that violence-filled region. His information is always solid and unbiased." - Colman McCarthy, nationally syndicated columnist

"All three of these individuals [Noam Chomsky, Alfred Lilienthal, Elmer Berger] get Îspecialâ mention in The Campaign to Discredit Israel (Washington: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC], 1983). The only other Jewish critic of Zionism who merited a special heading was Edmund Hanauer, the founder of Search for Justice and Equality in Palestine/Israel." - Edward Corrigan, "Jewish Criticism of Zionism," American-Arab Affairs, Winter 1990-1991

"All our listeners remark on what a Îwonderfully balancedâ presentation Dr. Hanauer made and how he clarified and summarized a complex set of issues to further their understanding of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict." - Cambridge Forum, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Lecture sponsored by the John and Alette Quanbeck Lecture Fund

During his college years he participated in the Honors program, served as Student Body President and had an internship at a lobbying firm which opened his eyes to the legislative process. After graduation he helped manage the page program in the Minnesota House of Representatives. In 2001 he joined the firm Capitol Hill Associates as a lobbyist.
