Applied Math Seminar: The Kaczmarz Algorithm and its Applications to Data Science (Anna Ma, UCSD)
Data is exploding at a faster rate than computer architectures can handle. For that reason, mathematical techniques to analyze large-scale data need be developed. Stochastic iterative algorithms have gained interest due to their low memory footprint and adaptability for large-scale data. In this talk, we will study the Randomized Kaczmarz algorithm for solving extremely large […]
What Did Ada Do? Digging into the Mathematical Work of Ada Lovelace (Gizem Karaali, Pomona)
What Did Ada Do? Digging into the Mathematical Work of Ada Lovelace (Gizem Karaali, Pomona)
Augusta Ada Byron King Lovelace (1815-1852) is today celebrated as the first computer programmer in history. This might be confusing to some because in 1852 there were no machines that looked like what we call computers today. In this talk I attempt to explain what Ada really did, and delineate the mathematics involved. Bernoulli numbers […]
Is My Subgroup Normal? How Math Communities Differand Why it Matters (Sinclair, Google)
Is My Subgroup Normal? How Math Communities Differand Why it Matters (Sinclair, Google)
Mathematics isnt done in a void: its done by groups of people. Those groups have different norms and values, which affect both who wants to engage in math and the mathematics itself being done. When thinking about diversity and inclusion, explicitly examining norms within our communities can get us a long way. Through a Thomas […]
