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 […]
Speaker: Dorothy Buck, Professor of Mathematics, Duke University Title: Molecular Pasta: Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers Abstract: If you’ve cooked spaghetti, you’ve probably noticed how the pasta becomes entangled in the […]
Speaker: Kobi Abayomi, Head of Science, Gumbel Demand Acceleration Title: Sound Information is All You Need Abstract: It turns out that affinity for a song is predictable from its sound. […]
We will conclude the CCMS Fall Colloquium Series with a Pre-Colloquium Reception followed by a talk (details below). Pre-Colloquium Reception will begin at 3:30pm with foods and drink in the […]
Speaker: Daniel Zaharopol, Founder of Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), (AoPSI) The Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc. Title: Math as the Gateway for STEM Achievement and Access: The […]
Speaker: Hrushikesh Mhaskar, Distinguished Research Professor of Mathematics, Claremont Graduate University Title: Local Analysis Of Global Data Abstract: For a periodic integrable function f, the definition of Fourier coefficients requires the values of f on the entire period. We refer to such data as “global” data. Even though the sequence of Fourier coefficients determines f […]
Speaker: Nabil Fadai, Professor of Mathematical Biology, University of Nottingham Title: Stochastic Agent-Based Models in Mathematical Biology Abstract: In the last decade, there has been a movement to describe biological and social systems via agent-based models, which track individual agents (organisms, cells, people) and their environment through a set of deterministic and probabilistic rules. In this talk, […]
Title: Journey of Black Mathematicians Film Description: Creating Pathways (2025) highlights the lives of Black mathematicians who pursued their education at predominantly White institutions. The film gauges the impacts of segregation and prejudice, surveys attitudes around identity, and introduces programs aimed at increasing the number of African Americans in STEM fields. Exploring questions about the […]
Speaker: Iris Yoon, Professor of Mathematics, Wesleyan University Title: How Topology Reveals Structure in Neuroscience Data Abstract: We live in an exciting time where new data is generated at an exponential rate. […]
