Curry Leaf, the Math Club of MTTS Alumni, is turning three this November! Get ready for exciting talks on graphs, spaces around knots, graphs and groups, fixed points, and more. We're also hosting a celebration for Kumaresan sir's 73rd and Curry Leaf's 3rd birthday. Last day there will be event about math careers. Join us for a memorable learning experience!

Number theory meets graph theory in the following setting. If we construct a certain Cayley graph of a finite field, the eigenvalues of the associated adjacency matrix happen to be interesting number-theoretic objects called Kloosterman sums. Further, understanding graph properties like connectivity and girth lead to interesting problems. In this talk we review relevant definitions, motivate the problem, and get a glimpse of results obtained.
An expander family of graphs is a mathematical way to encode the idea of a "good" network. We will explain what "good" could mean in this context, and use this to define an expander family. We will then describe a construction of such families using group theory.
