Dr. Gordon Brown  will give his talk: Turing Machines, the Limits of Modern Mathematics, and Really, Really Big Numbers

Turing machines are a simple yet powerful model of computation. In this talk, I'll survey some recent developments that arise from comparing the runtimes of halting Turing machines, which have consequences for the foundations of mathematics. Along the way, I'll explain how to beat absolutely anyone at a game of "who can name the bigger number".
