Mather Lecture - October 11

Physics for his contributions in advancing our understanding of the early Universe. On Thursday, October 11 at 4:00
PM, he will give a Public Lecture in the ACES Building. Details are posted

your impressions, in your own words, and turn it in within the next week to the T.A. or instructor, this will count as
participation credit.
