SUMMARY:Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change (Amelia Stone-Johnstone\, CSU Fullerton)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change \nSpeaker: ​Amelia Stone-Johnstone\, Department of Mathematics\, California State University\, Fullerton \nAbstract: Active learning has been championed as a mechanism for greater student learning and participation in STEM. However\, recent studies have demonstrated how active learning without an explicit equity focus may harm students from historically marginalized communities in STEM. In this talk\, I will introduce a model for professional development that attends both to equity and active learning. In addition\, I will introduce the Teaching Equity-minded and Active Mathematics (TEAM) Tool\, a tool for pedagogical reflection that was developed by a team of undergraduate students at California State University\, Fullerton. This research-backed tool was constructed as a way to support faculty in creating a learning atmosphere in which students can explore\, discuss\, and learn mathematics in the classroom in a safe\, just\, active\, and equitable manner. \n\n\n\n\n\nAmelia Stone-Johnstone is an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at California State University\, Fullerton. Her research involves the development and assessment of academic support systems in introductory mathematics courses. In addition\, Dr. Stone-Johnstone’s research and service include faculty professional development on equity-minded instruction.

SUMMARY:A Survey of Diophantine Equations (Edray Goins\, Pomona College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A Survey of Diophantine Equations \nSpeaker: ​Edray Herber Goins\, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics\, Pomona College \nAbstract: There are many beautiful identities involving positive integers. For example\, Pythagoras knew $3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$ while Plato knew $3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3$. Euler discovered $59^4 + 158^4 = 133^4 + 134^4$\, and even a famous story involving G.~H.~Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan involves $1^3 + 12^3 = 9^3 + 10^3$. But how does one find such identities?  Around the third century\, the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria introduced a systematic study of integer solutions to polynomial equations. In this talk\, we’ll focus on various types of so-called Diophantine Equations\, discussing such topics as Pythagorean Triples\, Pell’s Equations\, Elliptic Curves\, and Fermat’s Last Theorem. \n\n\n\n\nEdray Herber Goins is Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Pomona College. He has worked as a researcher at both Harvard and the National Security Agency; and has taught at both Caltech and Purdue. Professor Goins has published over 25 journal articles in areas such as applied mathematics\, graph theory\, number theory\, and representation theory; and on topics such as Diophantine equations\, elliptic curves\, and African Americans in mathematics. He has given nearly 300 invited addresses on his research\, acted as a referee for nearly 20 different journals in mathematics\, served on dozens of panels for the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, and been awarded more than $1\,370\,000 in external funding.  Goins currently maintains the website “Mathematicians of the African Diaspora (MAD Pages)”\, and runs a federally-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) titled Pomona Research in Mathematics Experience (PRiME).
