  • A tribute to Euler

    Freeberg Forum, LC 62, Kravis Center, CMC

    Among the greatest of mathematicians is Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), whose insight, industry, and ingenuity are unsurpassed in the long history of mathematics. In this talk we sketch Euler’s life, describe […]

  • Pre-Colloquium Non-Colloquium Party

    Millikan Courtyard, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    The traditional year-opening social event for the Claremont Colleges Mathematics Community will be held in the Millikan Courtyard. Spouses, partners, and family are welcome. Professors Ali Nadim (CGU) and Blerta […]

  • An Algebra of Arcs and Knots on a Surface (Helen Wong, CMC)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    The end of the previous century saw radical changes to three-dimensional topology, which arose from two completely different approaches. One breakthrough came from Bill Thurston's introduction of hyperbolic geometry into […]

  • Fall 2018 Poster Session

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    CLAREMONT CENTER for MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES Fall 2018 Poster Session Click here for poster abstracts. Computing Eigenmodes of the Laplace-Beltrami Operator by Using Radial Basis Functions by Vladimir Delengov, Chiu-Yen Kao […]

  • Snow Business: Scientific Computing in the Movies and Beyond (Joseph Teran, UCLA)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    New applications of scientific computing for solid and fluid mechanics problems include simulation of virtual materials in movie visual effects and virtual surgery. Both disciplines demand physically realistic dynamics for materials like […]

  • Modeling Mechanisms of Ovulatory (Dys)Function (Erica Graham, Bryn Mawr College)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    A normally functioning menstrual cycle requires significant crosstalk between hormones originating in ovarian and brain tissues. Reproductive hormone dysregulation may disrupt function and can lead to infertility, as occurs in […]

  • Great Expectations (Matthew Junge, Duke Univ.)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    The mean of a random quantity is supposed to confirm our expectations. What happens when it defies them? We will look at a few famous expected values; some old, some […]

  • Isometric Circle Actions (Catherline Searle, Wichita State)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    I will begin by describing a number of important examples of isometric actions of circles in Euclidean space and their restrictions to subspaces of Euclidean space. The goal of the talk will […]

  • The Legacy of Rudolph Kalman (Andrew Stuart, Caltech)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: In 1960 Rudolph Kalman published what is arguably the first paper to develop a systematic, principled approach to the use of data to improve the predictive capability of mathematical models. As our […]
