Title: Numbers: Are They Normal?
Register for the talk: https://bit.ly/kwk_dec2024
Abstract:
They say the only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well. What about numbers? Which ones are normal, and how well do we know them? The notion of normality of a number is related to the occurrence of different digits in that number. Roughly speaking, a normal number is one in which every block of digits appears with the same limiting frequency. For example, 0.12345678910111213… is normal in base 10, but 0.1212121212... is not. The normality of numbers is connected to many areas of mathematics, like diophantine approximation, ergodic theory, geometric measure theory, analysis, and computer science. We will discuss some interesting facts about normal numbers and connect them to a few seemingly unrelated areas of mathematical sciences.
