This talk is about parking spaces. No, not the kind in a grocery store parking lot, rather a kind of space that appears when you want to study the symmetries of a set of combinatorial objects. If the terms vector space, group, and parking functions are already familiar to you, you’re going to see a topic where they intersect. If those terms mean nothing to you, then you’ll learn a little about what they are through a concrete example. I hope you’ll come with curiosity, stay for the pretty pictures, and leave with a different perspective through which you can view any mathematical objects you’re interested in.<\/p>\n
