  • CCMS Colloquium Presents the Fall 2024 Course Preview Session

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

    For the next CCMS Colloquium on April 3rd Wednesday, we invite all MATH faculty, and students intending to enroll in upper division math courses to attend the Fall 2024 Course […]

  • Analysis seminar: Shanna Dobson (UCR)

    Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United States

    Title: The Chronicles of Fractal Geometry: Fractal Strings, and Functorial Harps Abstract: In this talk, we explore the colorful analytical world of fractal geometry. We introduce fractal strings in the sense of Lapidus, both intuitively and by way of rigorous constructions. We examine rich illustrations of higher dimensional fractals and p-adic fractal strings. Then, we […]

  • GEMS April 6th Session

    Harvey Mudd College at the Shanahan Teaching and Learning Center 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

  • Ying Wang (University of Oklahoma)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 the Riemann problem for Chaplygin gas equation, which is the Euler equations equipped with the state equation p = -1/\rho, as well as the 2D […]

  • Building TOWARD Geometry: Truncated Octahedra work as Rhombic Dodecahedra (Peter Kagey, HMC)

    Estella 2099

    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 and rhombic dodecahedra, which are two examples of space-filling polyhedra. I’ll talk about the process of designing and building the sculpture, some geometry and combinatorics […]

  • Primitive elements in number fields and Diophantine avoidance (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    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 clear from the proof of this theorem that not only there are infinitely many such primitive elements in K, but in fact most elements in […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Ryan Maguire (Dartmouth College)

    Estella 2099

    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 […]

  • Structural Ramsey Theory and Logic (Lynn Scow, CSUSB)

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

    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 […]

  • İrma Hacınlıyan (Istanbul Technical University)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Joe Breen (University of Iowa)

    Estella 2099

    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 […]

  • Analysis seminar: Reginald Anderson (CMC)

    Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United States

    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 metric in \R^3? i.e., what is the "round metric" on the 2-sphere of radius rho? 2. If we impose a complex structure on S^2 via […]
