Speaker: Andrés R. Vindas Meléndez, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont CA Title: An Invitation to Enumerative Geometric Combinatorics Abstract: Enumerative geometric combinatorics is an area of mathematics concerned […]
Title: A polyhedral view of refined q-t Catalan numbers Speaker: Max Hlavacek Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Statistics department, Pomona College, Claremont Abstract: Many problems in algebraic combinatorics have geometric objects lurking in the background, and bringing these objects forward can shed some light on the original problem. We begin with an introduction to polyhedral cones and their […]
We will see you all next week!
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 […]
