In this talk, we’ll dive into the origins of knot theory, tracing its roots from history to modern mathematics. We’ll then unravel the algebraic side of things, focusing on quandles—what they are, why their rules make sense, and how they help us study knots. Along the way, we’ll explore various knot invariants and what makes them powerful tools in distinguishing knots. --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1976521

WHEN: Wednesday, November 6 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. . WHAT: We will be getting dogs out to walk during this shift. Please always keep an eye on the dog, pick up the poop, and enjoy the wonderful outside area. Please get the dog's name and talk to the dog and interact with the dog as going out with you is their favorite time of day! Please watch this video before you come: https://youtu.be/QHY974SodNc. . . . . REMINDERS:. . Parking - Park in any of our street parking or in the overflow lots located across Armenia Avenue at Braddock St. or at Gulf Fabrics (this is the warehouse business next door to us, and you will see the HSTB signs for additional parking). Please do not park in the lots directly in front of the shelter or in the parking garage.. . Where to Meet - Head towards the left side of our building and you will see a gazebo. Please wait in the seating area. . . Attire – close-toed tennis shoes (NO Slides, Flip Flops, Crocs, or Sandals) and comfy clothes (bermuda short length or longer pants) that will be fine indoors or outdoors and can get a little dirty or wet. Please wear a t-shirt with sleeves (no tank tops, crop tops, or open backs).. . Allergies – Please be aware that you may come into contact with various animals and we cannot guarantee that you will only work with one animal as the needs for the day you are there might include helping in the areas for the dogs, cats, rabbits, or other small animals.. . Medical Isolation Areas - Please do not enter any kennel areas with signs stating “Staff Only” or “Do Not Enter” for the health and safety of our animals. Also, please do not walk any dogs with a "Staff Only" Sign on their kennels.. . Pictures – Please do not take any photos of animals in the Lower Level (Cats or dogs in Kennels 1-6) of the shelter as none of those animals are ready for adoption yet and posting pictures of those animals causes confusion for the public and more work for our Adoption staff. However, If you see any adoptable animals on the main Adoption Floor, you can feel free to take and post pictures of those animals. . . . . If you have any more questions contact our Volunteer Coordinator at matthewlim1@usf.edu. I'll be happy to answer any :) --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1973448
