How many ways are there to break up a regular \(n\)-sided polygon into nonoverlapping triangles whose vertices are taken from the vertices of the polygon? The answer is the sequence of Catalan numbers,  which show up in hundreds of interesting mathematical contexts. By 2015 there were 214 different combinatorial interpretations of Catalan numbers, and more have been discovered since then. In this talk we will explore properties of the Catalan numbers, find a formula for them, and demonstrate several of their combinatorial meanings.Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.

12 Step Recovery Meetings - Two Offerings! 12 Step Recovery is a fellowship of people who come together to build an individualized program of recovery based on the program's 12 Steps of Recovery. This pathway includes a spiritual component, Higher Power, that is unique to each individual, and that may evolve or change completely over time. 12 Step Recovery at UConn is intended to provide exposure and practice with 1) 12 Steps overall with a strong focus on the first three Steps, 2) primary program components, literature, and guiding principles, and 3) building a community of support and fellowship. 12 Step Recovery is an abstinence-based program designed originally to support people living with addiction to substances; however, it has grown to include other types of addictions and problem behaviors. Meetings are facilitated by students for students. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is online only. IN-PERSON ONLY, Offered at the UConn Recovery Community Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:00pm Cordial Storrs House, 1332 Storrs Road, Storrs Campus All UConn Students are Welcome - Any campus!

A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value. It serves as a foundational document for detailing a startup company and is often required to access both debt and equity capital. In this workshop, we'll break down the key components of a business model (and its short-form version, the Business Model Canvas) and explore how it can be used to highlight value creation while identifying risks and assumptions in your business. By the end of the session, all participants will have begun (or refined!) their own business model canvas to help chart a stronger path forward.RSVP Here: https://luma.com/aw8f7szz (https://luma.com/aw8f7szz)  ​Led by Michelle Cote ​Michelle Cote is a Lead Instructor at CCEI, as well as Director of Launc[H], an innovation ecosystem in Hartford.
