The Claremont Center for the Mathematical Sciences (CCMS) Math Colloquium series begins with a student research poster session, showcasing the mathematical work of all students at the Claremont Colleges. Please join us on Wednesday, September 6th, in the Estella Courtyard at Pomona College to see the wealth of research projects that Claremont math students have […]
Title: Diving into Math with Emmy Noether Starring: Anita Zieher; Director: Sandra Schueddekopf Abstract: A theatre performance by Portraittheater Vienna in co-operation with Freie Universität Berlin about the life of one of history's most influential mathematicians. Based on historical documents and events, the script was written by Sandra Schüddekopf and Anita Zieher in cooperation with […]
Title: p-Norm Approval Voting Speaker: Michael Orrison, Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Approval voting is a relatively simple voting procedure: Given a set of candidates, each voter chooses a subset of the candidates, and the candidate chosen the most is then declared the winner. Interestingly, approval voting can be viewed as an extreme […]
Title: Fourier-Mukai Transforms and Resolutions of the Diagonal Speaker: Reginald Anderson, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Fourier-Mukai transforms provide functors between derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties over the complex numbers. Using Beilinson's resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space, we encounter a description of any object in […]
