Student Analysis Date:  Wednesday, October 12, 2011 Location:  224 Denn (4:00 PM to 5:00 PM) Title:  The Mean Value Theorem!!! Abstract:   OK, maybe not *the* main value theorem. A different one. I will start by proving the Grace-Heawood theorem, a surprising mean value type result for complex polynomials. One of the neat aspects of the proof is that it has (almost) nothing to do with the complex numbers, and therefore the theorem has a shot of generalizing to some other valued fields. I will attempt to say a few words in this direction, relate the theorem to a very recent result of Faber, and throw out a few questions in the process.
