We’ll provide a friendly overview to beautiful formulas of Plücker which govern the “shape” of planar curves.  We will discuss the Shapiro—Shapiro conjecture and connections to the real Schubert calculus\, and end by presenting some new conjectures and comput ational evidence joint with Frank Sottile.\n\nLocation: in person at UQAM PK-5675\n\nor online at Zoom meeting 86352363947\n\nhttps://can01.safelink s.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuqam.zoom.us%2Fj%2F86352363947 &data=05%7C02%7Cjackie.castreje%40mcgill.ca%7C4fb4ee8f58db4d7df1d608dc5760 5823%7Ccd31967152e74a68afa9fcf8f89f09ea%7C0%7C0%7C638481318503186763%7CUnk nown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJ XVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=OmEqER0SBAjpv3Gs1%2B0MXUQ0xxfX9ucRNEzZKc6S% 2BbU%3D&reserved=0\n\n \n DTSTART:20240410T173000Z DTEND:20240410T183000Z SUMMARY:Thomas Brazelton (Harvard University) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/thomas-brazelton-harvard- university-356625 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
