Explore the concept of "the general case" in mathematics through a thought-provoking seminar by Amie Wilkinson from the University of Chicago. Delve into topics such as ergodicity, Boltzmann's work, KM theory, and entropy, while examining their applications to various mathematical examples. Gain insights into recent developments in the field, including the study of invariant components and intermediate differentiability. Discover how these concepts relate to the broader context of mathematical research and their implications for understanding complex systems.
