This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College. Title: The Magic of 0s and 1s Abstract: Have you ever wondered how data in a […]
Political scientists forecast elections, not primarily to satisfy public interest, but to validate statistical models used for estimating quantities of scholarly interest. Although scholars have learned a great deal from […]
The Jones Polynomial is an important invariant of knots with applications in physics, quantum computation and more. In this talk I will introduce a family of generalizations of the Jones […]
Speaker: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer) Title: Introduction to Quantum Invariants of 3-Manifolds Abstract: The previous speakers showed us how to distinguish knots and links using techniques involving quantum groups. I will […]
Abstract: In this talk, we study the optimal timing of selling a risky asset within the distribution builder framework. Instead of specifying a utility function or risk-aversion parameter, this approach […]

A classical principle in algebraic geometry is that a general hyperplane section of a variety should have singularities no worse than those of the variety itself. Over the complex numbers, […]
Speaker: Jim Hoste (Pitzer) Title: Enumerating 2-bridge knots Abstract: A new proof of an old theorem. This is joint work with Patrick D. Shanahan (Loyola Marymount University). _______ We especially welcome […]
Abstract: Rings containing a finite field mathbb{F}_p (such as the ring of polynomials with coefficients in mathbb{F}_p) admit a map called the Frobenius homomorphism which sends every element to its […]
