Title: p-Norm Approval Voting Speaker: Michael Orrison, Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Approval voting is a relatively simple voting procedure: Given a set of candidates, each voter chooses a subset of the candidates, and the candidate chosen the most is then declared the winner. Interestingly, approval voting can be viewed as an extreme […]
Title: Building the Fan of a Toric Variety Speaker: Reginald Anderson, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Roughly speaking, algebraic geometry studies the zero sets of polynomials, which lead to objects called varieties. Since the zero sets of polynomials do not always pass the vertical line test, we enlist other methods to study […]
