Title: Eigenvector Methods for Community Detection in Hypergraphs Abstract: Hypergraphs are generalizations of graphs in which edges are allowed to contain arbitrary numbers of nodes. Hypergraphs are well-suited for modeling […]
When first learning how to write mathematical proofs, it is often easier for students to work with statements using the universal quantifier. Results that single out special cases might initially […]
Sam Nelson will wow us with his maths.
Title: Quantitative Approaches to Social Justice Prof. Chad Topaz (he/him/his) Co-Founder and Executive Director of Research, QSIDE Institute Professor of Mathematics, Williams College Abstract: Civil rights leader, educator, and investigative […]
Title: Mixing and Pumping on the Microscale Abstract: Mixing and pumping in microfluidics devices is difficult because the traditional methods of mixing and pumping at large length scales don’t work […]
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra was originally defined as a generalization of the Jones polynomial for knots and links on a surface and is one of the few quantum invariants […]
Robert Bowden will tell us fantastic things he did at PSU.
Title: Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs and Virtual Niebrzydowski Algebras Speaker: Prof. Sherilyn Tamagawa Visiting Assistant Professor Pomona College Abstract: If you were given two tangled up circles of string, could you untangle […]
Title: Traditional Applied Math, and then, Working with High Dimensional Biological Data Abstract: I will give an overview of my interests in two parts. The first part will be on […]
A Belyi map $\beta: \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C}) \to \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ is a rational function with at most three critical values; we may assume these values are $\{ 0, \, 1, \, \infty \}$. […]
Jim Hoste will do an interpretive knot dance.
