Dr. John U. Free Seminar Series Back for 2023 – Dr. Zhihui Nie on Feb. 3

The Dr. John U. Free Seminar Series is back for 2023!

One of the great things about being part of a Christian college community is the opportunity it affords to expand our intellectual horizons and pursue together a greater understanding of truth in the world God has made. One of those opportunities this Spring Semester is the John U. Free Seminar Series. Named for ENC’s own Prof. Emeritus of Physics, Dr. John Free, the series explores a range of topics related to disciplines like Physics, Math, and Engineering. Even if these disciplines aren’t your comfort zone, come and see what you might learn about the world. This seminar series is held on Friday afternoons during community hour to introduce our ENC community to the exciting work done by members of the Shrader Ground Floor Programs as well as external speakers. All are welcome to attend!

Please join us this Friday February 3 at 2:15-3:00pm in Shrader Lecture Hall for the first talk of our 2023 series, presented by Dr. Zhihui Nie, professor of math. His talk is entitled, “Isotropic Positive Definite Functions on Spheres Generated from Those in Euclidean Spaces”; view the abstract.

Even though the talk is primarily in person, a Microsoft Teams registration link is also available. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the virtual meeting.
