Factorization Patterns of Polynomials and Partitions
Speaker: Emily Shambaugh
Abstract: A partition of a natural number n is a non-increasing sequence of natural numbers that sum to n. For example, the partitions of four are: 4, 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, and 1+1+1+1. In this talk, we explain how certain types of partitions can be used to describe the ways a polynomial of degree n may factor. We provide a recursive formula for the number of these partitions and generalize these ideas to the case of two polynomials whose degrees sum to n.

About Math Club
The Math Club is an umbrella organization for mathematics-related activities open to all UNL students. The Math Club sponsors events throughout the academic year in association with the Nebraska Alpha Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon and the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) undergraduate student chapter at Nebraska. Undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to contact the Math Club's faculty advisors to discuss events and meetings that they would like to see throughout the academic year and to help organize additional event and meetings.
