CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer) Title: Derivatives and the Shape of Graphs Abstract: Reading the title of this talk, perhaps you think you are going to hear about Calculus I. I stole the title from a section of Stewart’s popular calculus book. But actually, I am going to talk […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Evan Rosenman from Claremont McKenna College Title: Fair Votes? The Mathematics of Elections and Redistricting Abstract: How do we know if an election is fair? […]
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 by Monday, April 6th to attend the workshop and lunch. Schedule 10:00 to 10:05 Welcome! 10:05 to 11:05 Otávio Bueno (University of Miami & Tohoku […]
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 […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ryan Moruzzi (CSU Northridge) Title: Exploring Leaky Forcing Through Hopi Rectangle graphs Abstract: Leaky forcing, introduced in 2019, is a graph-coloring process […]
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 […]
Diophantine avoidance has been studied by several authors in recent years. This refers to effective results on existence of points of bounded size in a given algebraic set avoiding some […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Manuel Reyes (UCI) Title: When XY is not equal to YX Abstract: The commutative property of algebra states that the order of multiplication makes no difference: XY = YX. […]
Abstract: I will introduce In-Context Operator Networks (ICON), a framework in which a single neural network learns solution operators for differential equations directly from a few prompted input-output examples at inference time, without any weight updates. ICON acts as a few-shot learner across forward and inverse problems for ODEs, PDEs, and mean-field control. I will […]
