"MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU" EDITION!
MIT CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRESENTS:
MITCSC Monthly Technical Book Club
We will continue discussion on D&P Chapter IX (Geodesics) and prior topics, including Anand's solution to exercise VIII.2.1.
The Technical Book Club is reading "Tensor Geometry" by Dodson and Poston, a differential geometry-centric introduction to general relativity. We will continue to make use of Needham's "Visual Differential Geometry & Forms" and Tu's "Differential Geometry" to elucidate D&P's Chapter IX (Geodesics). As we get deeper into D&P, we find that the quality of exposition is slipping, so we rely more heavily on other texts to elucidate the details. Discussion on topics covered in prior meetings is always welcomed. One of our aims with this meeting will be to agree upon a translation table among the various texts with their respective terminology and symbolic conventions for differentiation in all of its contexts. Expertise on the subject is not required, as we are all learning from each other.
Registration is not required, but is greatly appreciated to help our MITCSC event planning!

MITCSC PRESENTS:
Afternoon at the Ballpark, 2025 - Detroit Tigers at Anaheim Angels
Another baseball season, another MITCSC trip to Anaheim to see the Angels play on a Sunday afternoon. Since going early in the season was well-received last year, we are going to making another spring trip this year, hopefully before the afternoon weather gets too warm. We invite Caltech alums and families to join us this year!
As always, this is a fun family event. In the past, kids have been invited onto the field to run the bases once the game has been completed, but we have not confirmed if the Angels still offer that opportunity. Nevertheless, it promises to be a pleasant afternoon of Major League Baseball.
We will probably again suggest a pre-game gathering at the Golden Road Brewpub across the street from the stadium starting at 11:00 am. This will give everyone the chance to get lunch and not have to pay ballpark concession stand prices! Parking is generally available at the brewery if you arrive early enough, though the brewery now charges a fee if you leave your car there for the game. Otherwise, paid parking is available in the ballpark lots.

MBA COLLECTIVE SOCAL PRESENTS:
Berkeley Haas Real Estate & Economics Symposium
MBA Collective SoCal and Berkeley Haas Alumni Network of Los Angeles invite MIT and all partner school alumni to the Berkeley Haas Real Estate & Economics Symposium including industry leaders who will share their insights on investing in multifamily real estate! This event is in-person at the transformative West Edge Hines development at Bundy/Olympic in West Los Angeles. Click HERE for more information and to register on the Berkeley Haas Luma event page. MIT alums can use promo/coupon code MBACOLLECTIVE2025 to receive the discounted Cal alumni ticket price.
Multifamily real estate is more than an asset class—it’s a leading indicator of where commercial real estate is headed. In an uncertain market shaped by rising interest rates, evolving policies, and shifting capital flows, understanding this sector is key to navigating what’s next.
This year’s symposium, hosted in partnership with the Berkeley Real Estate Alumni Association, brings together leading voices in real estate investment, development, and finance to explore how multifamily trends reflect broader CRE risks and opportunities.
Attendees will gain actionable insights on market dynamics, investment strategies, and structural shifts shaping the industry’s future, while enjoying the opportunity to network with Berkeley Haas alumni, industry leaders, and peers in a cutting-edge venue designed by Hines, a global leader in real estate innovation. Heavy appetizers and an open bar (beer and wine) are included in ticket price.
