If you're here _just_ for the Cat Psychology*, you might leave a bit disappointed. But if you're up for some mathematical thinking, come learn about Game Theory, an area of math you'll find very applicable even to everyday situations! You'll learn about some basic types of games and how they can be framed/tackled mathematically, as well as see examples from the real world. If anything, I hope you at least walk away with an appreciation for the ability to predict your opponent's moves! *Not intended to be a rigorous subject, just anecdotes about my two extremely lovable (but also hilariously petty) cats, Peanut and Buttercup. Lecture may be supplemented with examples from other areas like behavioral ecology.

Fractals...you know what they look like, but do you have any idea what they really are? Come join us to find out how a coastline could be of infinite length, a shape can be log(3) dimensional, and infinite cats can turn into...well, I won't spoil it for you, but I promise it's awesome.
