Joan Ponce Purdue University Abstract: One of the main challenges of mathematical modeling is the balance between simplifying assumptions and incorporating sufficient complexity for the model to provide more accurate and […]
At the turn of the twentieth century, physicist Henri Bénard heated a shallow plate of fluid from below. For temperatures above a critical value, the fluid’s evenly heated state became unstable […]
Domination in graphs has been an important and active topic in graph theory for over 40 years. It has immediate applications in visibility and controllability. In this talk we will […]
Probability is a now-classic tool in combinatorics, especially graph theory. Some applications of probabilistic techniques are: (1) describing the typical/expected properties of a class of objects, (2) uncovering phase transitions […]
Shannons sampling theorem provides a link between the continuous and thediscrete realms stating that bandlimited signals are uniquely determined by itsvalues on a discrete set. This theorem is realized in […]

UNAIDS has proposed an ambitious strategy for ending the HIV pandemic. Their strategy depends upon achieving a treatment coverage goal of 90% by 2030. However, distance to healthcare and lack […]
The Pomona College Student AWM chapter warmly invites you to an event honoring Maryam Mirzakhani “Remember Maryam Mirzakhani” Curator, Thaís Jordão Designer, Rafael Meireles Barroso You are cordially invited to hear […]
TOPIC: Working Together without a Leader Bees all work together by communicating and obeying the orders of the Queen. Other animals gather in swarms, flocks, or schools and move in complicated […]
Individuals may choose to create social groups where their individual fitness and success is influenced by those around them. A group may increase an individual's success in finding food, shelter, and safety; […]
In this talk, I will describe an approach to finding upper bounds for the number of arithmetic operations necessary for doing harmonic analysis on permutation modules of finite groups. The […]
