CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Anna Ma (UCI) Title: Stochastic iterative methods for solving tensor linear systems Abstract: Solving linear systems is a crucial subroutine and challenge in data science and scientific computing. Classical approaches for solving linear systems assume that data is readily available and small enough to be stored in […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Grace Akinwande from the Claremont Graduate University. Title: From Pizza to Calculus: Understanding Area Through Approximation Abstract: How much more pizza do you really get from a larger size? In this presentation, we explore the concept of area starting from an everyday question—the pizza dilemma! We’ll review basic […]
Abstract: Anderson Acceleration (AA) has been widely used to solve nonlinear fixed-point problems due to its rapid convergence. This talk focuses on a variant of AA in which multiple Picard iterations are performed between each AA step, referred to as the Alternating Anderson-Picard (AAP) method. Despite introducing more `slow' Picard iterations, this method has been […]
Let $C$ be a nice (smooth, projective, geometrically integral) curve over a number field $k$. The single most important geometric invariant of a curve is the genus, which can control […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Robert Cass (Claremont McKenna College) Title: Schubert varieties are splinters Abstract: Schubert varieties are among the most well-studied singular algebraic varieties, and they have numerous applications in combinatorics and representation theory. In positive characteristic, Schubert varieties are known to be Frobenius split by […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Jemma Lorenat (Pitzer) Title: Recognizing data: statistical literacies around 1900 Abstract: This talk centers on the first (and perhaps only) doctorate in the theory of correlations, granted by University College London in 1899 to Alice Lee. The production and reception of Lee's research sheds light on the varieties of […]
Abstract: Transparency is vital for efficiency in social systems, yet individuals with critical information often strategically postpone disclosure, even when required, to benefit themselves. To study this behavior, we introduce a multi-stage Chinese restaurant game with incomplete information that features system-recommended action rules and varying levels of player foresight. In our model, players initially receive […]
This talk explores elementary probability and statistics through the language of category theory. We introduce a category of Bundles and use it to reinterpret several results typically covered in an […]
Atul Vyas was an outstanding CMC student who was majoring in Mathematics and Physics. He tragically lost his life in a train crash that occurred on September 12, 2008 in […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Robert Sanchez (HMC) Title: Tides: Under the Sea and Under the Ice Abstract: Physical oceanography is the study of ocean fluid dynamics (e.g., waves, currents, plumes, turbulence). This talk will introduce physical oceanography and the methods used to analyze ocean data such as time-series analysis and numerical […]
Abstract: The problem of classification in machine learning has often been approached in terms of function approximation. In this talk, we propose an alternative approach for classification in arbitrary compact metric spaces which, in theory, yields both the number of classes, and a perfect classification using a minimal number of queried labels. Our approach uses […]
I will talk about some results concerning the non-vanishing of $L$-functions associated to fixed order characters $\ell$ at the central point over functions fields. Quadratic characters have been studied a […]
