Nikki Giovanni |
World-renowned poet, writer, commentator,
activist and educator Nikki Giovanni will deliver the annual
Holmes-Hunter Lecture at the university on Jan. 20 at
2 p.m. in the Chapel. The lecture honors the late Dr. Hamilton
Holmes and Charlayne Hunter-Gault, the first African Americans
to enroll at UGA and receive baccalaureate degrees.
Over the past 30 years, Giovanni has written more than
two dozen books, including volumes of poetry, illustrated
children’s books and three collections of essays. Her
writings focus on the individual—specifically, on the
power one has to make a difference in oneself and in the lives
of others. |

Math team solves knotty four-decade-old math problem
It’s not as famous as Fermat’s Last Theorem. In
fact, the math problem, which has not had a correct solution
since it was proposed in the 1960s, doesn’t even have
a name.
But a new, elegant solution for the unnamed 40-year-old problem
has intrigued scientists enough to be published in a two-part
paper in one of the world’s top math journals. |
