- Corollary to Murphy's Law (paraphrased):
If it can be shown that something that could have gone wrong did not go wrong, then subsequent events will prove that everything would ultimately have turned out better if that thing had gone wrong.
- Investigator Jim Culter concludes that dinosaur bones were placed
in the fossil strata 10,000 years ago in order to confuse and
mislead 20th century scientists, and that dinosaurs never actually
existed.

Math Candidate Presentation
Math candidate, Upasana Kashyap, will give a presentation on "Operator Spaces--A Noncommutative Phenomenon" on Friday, March 27 at 3:30 p.m. in SC 336. All science students and faculty are invited to attend.
The presentation will be about operator spaces, a new area of research most commonly knwn as noncommutative functional analysis. Operator spaces are noncommutative variants of Banach spaces. It is regarded as the appropriate category to study problems concerning spaces or algebras of operators on Hilbert space arising in noncommutative mathematics.
