Difficult: In his talk, Vitaly Bergelson talked about Poincare's Recurrence Theorem which had something to do with volume preserving transformations. I had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about. I tried to understand it, but I think I might have just gotten lost in the notation. He asked if we had any questions, but I was so confused so I didn't even know what to ask. He also talked about upper density functions. I didn't even know to what this is and how to find them.
Connections: The only connections I could find with this talk was about finding volume. This reminded me of multivariable calculus since I found volume of the three dimensional figures. Also, I felt like in linear algebra we talked about n-dimensional stuff, but I'm not sure exactly what we did with it. I couldn't really find many connections with this since I felt so confused.
