  • Claremont Math Weekend 2019

    Pryne Auditorium, Galileo Hall, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    On Saturday January 26th, Claremont Math Faculty will present 30 minute talks on their research. The goal of these presentations is to expose students, both graduate and undergraduate, to various […]

  • Applied Math Seminar Organizational Meeting

    Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California

    We will have an organizational meeting for the applied math seminar at 4:15pm in Emmy Noether Rm, Millikan 1021, Pomona on 1/28  (Monday). Anyone who in interested in suggesting speakers and/or organizing applied math seminar is welcome to come. 

  • Discrete compressed sensing: lattices and frames (Josiah Park, Georgia Tech)

    Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Lattice valued vector systems have taken an important role in packing, coding, cryptography, and signal processing problems.  In compressed sensing, improvements in sparse recovery methods can be reached with an […]

  • Mathematics: Pure, Applied, A Liberal Art ( Al Erisman, Seattle Pacific University)

    Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    From the view of a pure mathematician, those working in pure mathematics produce pure knowledge. Whether used or not, it has a great elegance and value in and of itself. Those in applied mathematics simply pick up what has been done and use it in designing or building things. Number theory is often used to […]

  • The Roger-Yang Arc Algebra (Helen Wong, CMC)

    Roberts North 104, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

      Based on geometric considerations, J. Roger and T. Yang in 2014 defined a version of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra for punctured surfaces that includes arcs going from puncture […]

  • Lattices from group frames and vertex transitive graphs (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)

    Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Tight frames in Euclidean spaces are widely used convenient generalizations of orthonormal bases. A particularly nice class of such frames is generated as orbits under irreducible actions of finite groups […]

  • Algebraic and Polyhedral Perspectives on Combinatorial Neural Codes (Robert Davis, Harvey Mudd)

    Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    In the 1970s, James O’Keefe and his team observed that certain neurons in the brain, called place cells, spike in their firing rates when the animal is in a particular physical location within its arena. If a place cell is thought of as either “active” or “silent,” then one may represent the co-firing patterns of […]

  • Subgraph statistics (Benny Sudakov, ETH Zurich)

    Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Given integers $k,l$  and a graph $G$, how large can be the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets of $G$ which span exactly $l$ edges?  The systematic study of this very natural  […]

  • Cracking the Code: Predicting Properties of Material Fracture Networks using Machine Learning (Allon Percus, CGU)

    Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    Understanding how fluid flows through heterogeneous materials, and how it can make these materials fail, are among the hardest challenges in materials science.  Experiments and simulations show that flow through subsurface rock is mostly limited to a small subnetwork, or backbone, of fractures.  Identifying this backbone would allow for a large speedup in flow and […]
