Title: Mathematical models studying the effectiveness of control strategies for malaria Abstract: According to the 2023 World Malaria Report: Nearly half the world's population lives in areas at risk of […]
In the field of commutative algebra, the principal object of study is (unsurprisingly) commutative algebras. A somewhat unintuitive fact is that results about commutative algebras can be gleaned from an associated non-commutative algebra whose generators are very analytic in nature. This object is called the ring of differential operators, often denoted by D. In a sense gives […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Will Hoffer (UC Riverside) Title: Tube Formulae for Fractal Snowflakes Abstract: Fractals like the von Koch snowflake have rough boundaries, often having nowhere defined tangent lines/spaces. However, there is a tool useful for probing the edges of such fractals: tubular neighborhoods. In this […]
Speaker: Jessica Sidman, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Amherst College Title: Frameworks in Motion: Design, Theory, and Fabrication Abstract: What do your umbrella, a folding gate, and a scissor […]
In this talk, we explore sequences and their autocorrelation functions. Knowing the autocorrelation function of a sequence is equivalent to knowing the magnitude of its Fourier transform. Resolving the lack […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Orsola Capovilla-Searle (UC Davis) Title: Exact Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian links Abstract: An important problem in contact topology […]
Speaker:Jesse Wolfson, UC Irvine Title: Braids, Polynomials, and Hilbert’s 13th Problem Abstract: There are still completely open fundamental questions about polynomials in one variable. One example is Hilbert’s 13th Problem, […]
Title: Exceptional Sets for Divergent Fourier Series Abstract: A survey of some old and newer results on divergent Fourier series with some comments on how they relate to undergraduate analysis courses and (time permitting) leading to a brief discussion of an open question on the size of exceptional sets in divergence examples and some progress […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor David Bachman from Pitzer College. Title: How does ChatGPT work? Abstract: In 2022 ChatGPT took the world by storm and challenged our […]
