This is the start of "Ask an Oliner", a video series where you ask questions you would like an Olin student to answer, and then I get them answered. Post questions in the comments and let's get started! :)

Midnight Mathematicians is a club dedicated to discussing cool math-related principles in the form of student-given talks. They meet about every other Saturday night, at midnight, with cheese, fancy drinks, and most importantly, math. In this talk, Kevin OToole discusses Kakapos, population dynamics, and the math behind the existence of chaos.

This is the beginning of a lecture given by Olin Professor Aaron Hoffman on March 28, 2012. The overall lecture was an introduction to non-linear Differential Equations for Linearity 1 (MTH 2188), a course all second-semester Freshman are required to take. This camera was placed in the back row of students.")
