The entire talk should be accessible given a basic understanding of linear
algebra/matrices and one-variable calculus. That said, I will occasionally
insert technical details for the more advanced audience. For example: this
journey connects many seemingly distant mathematical topics, from Schur
(products and complements), to spheres and Gram matrices, to Toeplitz and
Hankel matrices, to rank one updates and Rayleigh quotients, to
Cauchy-Binet and Jacobi-Trudi identities, back full circle to Schur
(polynomials).
