Title: Numerical studies to the Chaplygin gas system and Pressureless Euler Equations Speaker: Ying Wang University of Oklahoma, USA Abstract In this talk, we will discuss the numerical solutions to […]
In late March, students, staff, and faculty were invited to help collaboratively build a large-scale geometric sculpture on the campus of Harvey Mudd College, demonstrating a relationship between truncated octahedra […]
The famous primitive element theorem states that every number field K is of the form Q(a) for some element a in K, called a primitive element. In fact, it is […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Ryan Maguire (Dartmouth College) Title: Relative Strengths of Knot Invariants by Experiment Abstract: Four knot polynomials have been well studied by topologists, graph theorists, and algebraists alike: The Alexander, Jones, HOMFLY-PT, and Khovanov polynomials. It is known that the Khovanov polynomial is […]
Title: Structural Ramsey Theory and Logic Speaker: Lynn Scow, Professor of Mathematics, California State University, San Bernardino Abstract: The connection between Ramsey theory and logic goes back to Frank P. Ramsey's […]
Title: On Nonlinear Schrödinger Type Equations: Wave Modulation and Mathematical Analysis Abstract: The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation describes the evolution of slowly varying packets of quasi-monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear […]
Imagine the hands on a clock. For every complete the minute hand makes, the seconds hand makes 60, while the hour hand only goes one twelfth of the way. […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Joe Breen (University of Iowa) Title: Open books in all dimensions Abstract: I will discuss recent work (joint with K. Honda and Y. Huang) on establishing a relationship, first discovered by Giroux, between "contact structures" and "open books". This relationship has been […]
Title: Review of differential geometry Abstract: 1. Given the embedding of a sphere of radius rho centered at the origin of \R^3 from spherical coordinates, what is the pullback of the flat […]
Title: The fractional p-Laplacian operator. Motivation for its definition and related boundary value problems Abstract: Last decades, nonlocal operators, as the fractional Laplacian, have gained to much attention due to […]
