Applied Math Talk: Robust Estimators for Monte Carlo data given by Prof. Mark Huber (CMC)
Data coming from Monte Carlo experiments is often analyzed in the same way as data from more traditional sources. The unique nature of Monte Carlo data, where it is easy to take a random number of samples, allows for estimators where the user can control the relative error of the estimate much more precisely than […]
Quandle module quivers (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Quandle module quivers (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Quandle coloring quivers categorify the quandle counting invariant. In this talk we enhance the quandle coloring quiver invariant with quandle modules, generalizing both the quiver invariant and the quandle module polynomial invariant. This is joint work with Karma Istanbouli (Scripps College).
Applications of Markov Chains to Swarm Robotics and Political Redistricting
Applications of Markov Chains to Swarm Robotics and Political Redistricting
What do swarm robotics and political redistricting have in common? One answer is Markov chains, which have recently been used in very different ways to address problems in both these areas. To get a large swarm to exhibit a desired behavior, one solution is to make each individual in the swarm fairly intelligent; another is […]
