Knots and polynomials
Abstract: We will describe certain invariants of knots in three dimensional space and give an impressionistic view of how they relate to physics, algebra and analysis. The notion of subfactor will be introduced.

From Schubert calculus to equivariant cohomology
The aim of this series of lectures is to sketch how the enumerative geometry of the 19th century has grown into the thriving field of equivariant cohomology in the 20th and 21st centuries.
