ZoomTitle: Indiana Pols Forced to Eat Humble Pi, The Curious History of an Irrational Number Speaker: Prof. Edray Goins, Pomona College In 1897, Indiana physician Edwin J. Goodwin believed he had discovered a way to square the circle, and proposed a bill to Indiana Representative Taylor I. Record which would secure Indiana’s the claim to […]

ZoomTitle: Experimental Knot Music Abstract: In knot theory, there are algebraic structures we can use to distinguish different types of knots and links. In this talk we will ask an unexpected question: what do they sound like? We will see a number of techniques I have been developing for interpreting knot-theoretic structures as elements of […]

ZoomTitle: Space vectors forming rational angles Abstract: We classify all possible configurations of vectors in three-dimensional space with the property that any two of the vectors form an angle whose measure is a rational multiple of π. As a corollary, we find all tetrahedra whose six dihedral angles are all rational multiples of π.While these […]
Applied Math Talk: Variable Selection via Arbitrary Rectangle-Range Generalized Elastic Net given by Yujia Ding (CGU)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaWe propose a regularization and variable selection method, named arbitrary rectangle-range generalized elastic net (ARGEN). It can be applied in high dimensional sparse linear regression models. We propose an algorithm to solve ARGEN; it is an extension of multiplicative updates. Multiple simulation studies and a real-world application in the stock market show that ARGEN applies […]
