Speaker: Anne Cawley, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Cal Poly Pomona, CA Title: What Happens When Our Perspectives Don’t Align with the Math? Abstract: Many people often share that they like math because there is “one right answer” and is an objective field. Once they find the answer, they are done with a problem. […]
CCMS Colloquium: “Paths in Mathematics After Undergrad” Panel We will be holding a virtual panel on careers and grad school after a bachelor’s mathematics degree, with a follow-up discussion time in breakout rooms. Panelists Brianna Huynh (PO-2024), MS student in MathEd at Cal Poly Pomona Taylor McAdam (HMC-2013), Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics, at Pomona […]
Speaker: Jessica Sidman, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Amherst College Title: Frameworks in Motion: Design, Theory, and Fabrication Abstract: What do your umbrella, a folding gate, and a scissor lift have in common? They all involve frameworks made of rigid parts attached at flexible joints and are designed to move with one degree of freedom. […]
Speaker:Jesse Wolfson, UC Irvine Title: Braids, Polynomials, and Hilbert’s 13th Problem Abstract: There are still completely open fundamental questions about polynomials in one variable. One example is Hilbert’s 13th Problem, […]
Speaker: Michelle Manes, AIM Title: Dynamical Systems and the Period 3 Implies Chaos Theorem Abstract: Sharkovskii’s theorem, sometimes called "period 3 implies chaos," concerns a one-dimensional real dynamical system: a […]
