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 malaria transmission in 85 countries and territories. In 2022, malaria caused an estimated 249 million clinical episodes, and 608,000 deaths. In this talk, we will […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 is to understand Legendrian submanifolds; these submanifolds are always tangent to the plane field given by the contact structure. Legendrian links arise as wavefronts in […]
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 […]
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 […]
The classical Noether-Lefschetz Theorem states that a suitably general algebraic surface S of degree d ≥ 4 in complex projective 3-space P3 contains no curves besides complete intersections, that is, […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Vijay Higgins (UCLA) Title: Webs and skein algebras Abstract: The Jones polynomial of a link can be computed […]
