SUMMARY:Accidental Mathematics (Matt Stamps\, Yale-NUs College)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Growing up\, I always loved learning about world-changing scientific breakthroughs that were discovered by accident.  Penicillin\, artificial sweeteners\, X-rays\, and synthetic dyes are just a few of the discoveries that were stumbled upon by scientists who had other goals in mind.  More recently\, I have come to wonder why anecdotes about accidental discoveries in mathematics are not as commonplace.  Is it a fundamental difference in they way mathematicians and natural scientists view their work?  Are such stories too contrary to the popular perception that success in mathematics is reserved for the genius of a select few?  Whatever the reason\, I argue that mathematics happens accidentally all the time.  In this talk\, I will describe two accidental discoveries from my own work involving Penrose tilings\, circle packings\, chordal graphs\, lecture hall partitions\, lattice polytopes\, and polynomial rings.

SUMMARY:Some Unexpected Mathematics Arising From Research at NIST ( Hunt\, NIST)
DESCRIPTION:A lot of the mathematics done at NIST supports the research on and measurement of advanced materials and technology. In this rather applied context. surprising mathematics makes an appearance. We present a few examples.

SUMMARY:Reasoning about Liability of Intelligent Agents ( Naumov\, CMC)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: As intelligent agents assume larger role in our daily lives\, reasoning by humans about liability of such agents as well as reasoning by the intelligent agents themselves about liability becomes more important.  The existing laws\, written with humans in mind\, will eventually need to be re-interpreted in terms of their applicability in a hybrid environment that consists of humans and intelligent agents.  In some cases\, new laws will need to be written to redefine liability in the context involving intelligent agents. As a first step in this direction\, we need to have a formal definition of liability that can be applied to intelligent agents and logical rules that the machines can use to reason about their own and human liability. In this talk I will discuss several of my recent works on formal logical systems for reasoning about liability.
