Title: Understanding Complex Social Systems using Minimal Mathematical Models Abstract: Minimal mathematical models are used to understand complex phenomena in the physical, biological, and social sciences. This modeling philosophy never […]
Hassett spaces in genus 0 are moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable rational curves; they are important in the minimal model program and enumerative geometry. We compute the Chow ring […]
Title: Projections on Banach spaces and a lifting property of operators Prof. Maria Fernanda Botelho Department of Mathematical Sciences The University Of Memphis Abstract: In this talk I will present […]
Title: Collective motion in the mitotic spindle Abstract: Math models of interacting individuals moving as a collective have been profoundly successful in describing physical and social phenomena ranging from swarming insects […]
We will discuss the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations with and without non-negativity constraints. The sparsity of a solution vector is the number of its […]
Title: Collective Behavior in Locust Swarms from Data to Differential Equations Prof. Jasper Weinburd Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Locusts are devastating pests that infest and […]
No applied math talk
Title: TBA Abstract: TBA
In this talk we discuss some problems related to finding large induced subgraphs of a given graph G which satisfy some degree-constraints (for example, all degrees are odd, or all […]
Title: A tribute to Professor Ellis Cumberbatch (1934-2021) Abstract: The math colloquium on December 1st will be devoted to remembrances of our beloved CGU colleague Professor Ellis Cumberbatch, a pillar […]
Let d >= 2 be a natural number. We determine the minimum possible size of the difference set A-A in terms of |A| for any sufficiently large finite subset A […]
Title: Where do Putnam problems come from? Speaker: Andrew Bernoff, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: The William Lowell Putnam Exam is the preeminent mathematics competition for undergraduate college students […]
