• A Group-Theoretic Ax-Katz Theorem (Pete L. Clark, University of Georgia)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: A Group-Theoretic Ax-Katz Theorem Speaker: Pete L. Clark, University of Georgia Abstract: The Chevalley-Warning Theorem is a result from 1935 asserting that the number of solutions to a low degree polynomial system over a finite field is divisible by the characteristic of the field.  It is an important result -- it includes a conjecture […]

    Title: Graphical Anomaly Detection for High Dimensional and Object Data Abstract: Anomaly detection is an important task in data analysis, though an agreed upon definition of what constitutes an outlier does not exist.  Accordingly, a graphical tool that can highlight interesting observations in a data set that the scientist can then investigate with domain specific […]

  • Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change (Amelia Stone-Johnstone, CSU Fullerton)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change Speaker: ​Amelia Stone-Johnstone, Department of Mathematics, California State University, Fullerton Abstract: Active learning has been championed as a mechanism for greater student learning and participation in STEM. However, recent studies have demonstrated how active learning without an explicit equity focus may harm students from historically […]

    Title:  Can a function tell us how immune cells kill? Speaker: Prof. Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College, Claremont CA) Abstract: The immune system is able to fight cancer by mustering and training an army of effector “killer” cells.  Mathematical models of tumor-immune interactions must describe the proliferation, recruiting and killing rates of immune cells.  Earlier work surprisingly showed that […]
