Applied Math Seminar Organizational Meeting
We will have an organizational meeting for the applied math seminar at 4:15pm in Emmy Noether Rm, Millikan 1021, Pomona on 1/28 (Monday). Anyone who in interested in suggesting speakers and/or organizing applied math seminar is welcome to come.
Discrete compressed sensing: lattices and frames (Josiah Park, Georgia Tech)
Discrete compressed sensing: lattices and frames (Josiah Park, Georgia Tech)
Lattice valued vector systems have taken an important role in packing, coding, cryptography, and signal processing problems. In compressed sensing, improvements in sparse recovery methods can be reached with an additional assumption that the signal of interest is lattice valued, as demonstrated by A. Flinth and G. Kutyniok. Equiangular tight frames are particular systems of […]
Mathematics: Pure, Applied, A Liberal Art ( Al Erisman, Seattle Pacific University)
Mathematics: Pure, Applied, A Liberal Art ( Al Erisman, Seattle Pacific University)
From the view of a pure mathematician, those working in pure mathematics produce pure knowledge. Whether used or not, it has a great elegance and value in and of itself. Those in applied mathematics simply pick up what has been done and use it in designing or building things. Number theory is often used to […]
The Roger-Yang Arc Algebra (Helen Wong, CMC)
The Roger-Yang Arc Algebra (Helen Wong, CMC)
Based on geometric considerations, J. Roger and T. Yang in 2014 defined a version of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra for punctured surfaces that includes arcs going from puncture to puncture. We'll provide a brief survey of known results about this arc algebra. In particular, I'd like to mention a recent algebraic result whose […]
GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory, Part I with Professor Michael Orrison, from Harvey Mudd College
GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory, Part I with Professor Michael Orrison, from Harvey Mudd College
TOPIC: Graph Theory, Part I On the surface, graphs seem to be some of the simplest objects you might encounter in mathematics. After all, they are made up of just two kinds of parts, vertices and edges, and those parts fit together in simple ways. But appearances can be deceiving! In this series of two […]
