SUMMARY:Wallis and Landen: A Tale of two integrals (Prof. Victor Moll\, Tulane University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Wallis and Landen: A Tale of two integrals \nSpeaker: Victor Moll\, Department of Mathematics\, Tulane University \nAbstract: Victor Moll Abstract \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nI was born in Santiago\, Chile during the last millenium\, on October 31st. My father was a doctor in a small town. I must have been bothering my family\, so they put me to school at an early age. My first mathematical mentor was Maria Pardo\, who recognized that I had some talent for Mathematics. Since this came easy\, I spent most of my middle and high school years trying to learn some more. The other subjects suffered.\nAfter high-school\, liking Mathematics\, I enrolled in an Engineering School. Not a good idea. But since one could transfer to study Mathematics\, everything worked out fine. After graduation\, since PhD’s in Math were rare in Chile\, I was hired as a faculty member of Universidad Santa Maria (not a catholic school\, this is the last name of some rich chilean person). In 1980 I left for New York City\, to begin my graduate education at the Courant Institute of NYU. I was interested in Number Theory and this is one of the best places for Applied Mathematics. Talk about being clueless. There I met my wife\, Lisa Fauci\, then also a student. (She is the former president of SIAM and has a large collections of well-deserved awards). We both got positions at Tulane University in 1986. We figure we will try New Orleans for a year or two. Never left.\nMy PhD thesis was in the stability of waves for a model for nerve conduction. Did that until I got tenure. After tenure I spent a sabbatical to finish writing a book on Elliptic Curves (jointly with my advisor\, Henry McKean). Then a piece of luck: a first year graduate student (George Boros) told me that he could compute an integral. Not impressed\, I tried Mathematica and it was unable to find the answer. This changed my research area. I have been computing integrals since then. Have written a variety of papers on this and three books (at diverse levels). I am currently the scientific editor of the table by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik\, one of the most used tables in the world.\nI enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students\, professional colleagues and amateurs. I have been part of REU programs such as SIMU (in Puerto Rico)\, MSRI-UP (at Berkeley) and a variety of summer programs at Tulane. Lately I have been participating in programs aimed at faculty coming from institutions with high teaching load (Park City\, Utah and ICERM\, at Brown). My latest projects involves a new method called ”The method of brackets”\, invented by my collaborator Ivan Gonzalez\, a professor of Physics in Valparaiso\, Chile. Our works deals with the evaluation of Feynman diagrams\, coming in the description of elementary particles. To me\, this is the last leg of a cycle. As a high school student\, I wanted to study Particle Physics. It is never too late to go back to the beginning.

SUMMARY:Sequential: A Meditation on Recurrence (Prof. Ghassan Sarkis\, Pomona College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Sequential: A Meditation on Recurrence \nSpeaker: Ghassan Sarkis\, Department of Mathematics\, Pomona College \nAbstract: Though I will share some adventures in sequence-generating neural networks just for fun\, the majority of this talk will be concerned with Fibonacci sequences modulo $p$ and $p^2$ from data-inflected and number-theoretic perspectives\, including questions about periods of the modular sequence (how long before it repeats itself?) and associated frequencies (how many of each residue is there?) also just for fun. Most of the presentation should be understandable to math students with exposure to linear algebra and modular arithmetic\, and will include some suggested paths they may want to pursue in their own research as well. \n\n\n\n\n\nGhassan Sarkis is an Associate Professor of Mathematics & Statistics at Pomona College to his great surprise. His training is in number theory\, though he enjoys dabbling in combinatorics\, data science\, and some other puzzles that cross his path. He is very excited to discover what happens next.

SUMMARY:A Brief History of Calculating Machines (Prof. Yousef Daneshbod\, University of La Verne)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A Brief History of Calculating Machines \nSpeaker: Yousef Daneshbod\, Department of Mathematics\, University of La Verne \nAbstract: Calculating machines are digital or analog devices designed to perform mathematical calculations. These machines have a long history\, with the earliest known examples dating back to ancient times\, when people used sticks and stones for counting. However\, the first mechanical calculators were invented in early modern period thanks to the theoretical development of mathematics and the growing need for more sophisticated computations. Today\, calculating machines are all around us; changing the way we live our lives. In this talk\, I will explain the evolution of early calculating machines and the key people involved with its development. \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Yousef Daneshbod\, Associate Professor of Mathematics has been teaching at the University of La Verne since 2007. Prior to joining La Verne\, he was a Lecturer in Mathematics at Calpoly Pomona and an Adjunct Professor at Citrus College. Dr. Daneshbod received his B.S. and M.S both in mechanical engineering from Shiraz University in Iran. In the year 2001 he abandoned his studies for a PhD in mechanical engineering just one year before completion and along with his wife immigrated to the U.S. His love for mathematics motivated him to pursue a PhD degree in applied mathematics from the Claremont Graduate University\, eventually graduating in the summer of 2006. Dr. Daneshbod believes that the combination of clear classroom notes along with symbolic computer software can serve as an excellent pedagogical tool for making mathematics much more fun and intuitive for the students. His primary fields of interest include mathematical modeling in microfluidics\, theoretical and computational mechanics and wave propagation in anisotropic media. He is also interested in mathematics education in a liberal arts setting where he tries to inspire his students by exposing them to historical sketches of famous scientists and mathematicians.
