In this talk, I'll attempt to give a friendly introduction to tropical linear series and explore their relationship to matroid theory. Along the way, we'll stop to admire the beautiful view from enumerative geometry and combinatorics. This is joint work with Chih-Wei Chang, Matthew Dupraz, Hernan Iriarte, David Jensen, Sam Payne, and Jidong Wang, and also with […]
Please join us for the course preview of all the math courses for Fall 2026. Join us to hear from faculty about the exciting math courses being offered this upcoming fall. It's a great opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and plan your schedule!

This one-day workshop assembles diverse perspectives from the history and philosophy of mathematics to examine ways in which mathematics interacts and expands across other fields of study. Please RSVP here […]
Abstract: We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function ρ on a bounded Lipschitz domain. We investigate the minimization and maximization of a Steklov […]
Inspired by the categorification program for a numerical invariant of three-manifolds, series invariants for closed manifolds and for knot complements were introduced. This in turn motivated an extension of the […]
Abstract: Turbulence influences our lives in a multitude of ways, ranging from the mundane (when we stir milk into our coffee) to the spectacular (the formation of galaxies). It is […]
