Flyer for Kim's talk. Abstract: The logistic map is one of the most famous examples in dynamical systems. Originally introduced as a simple model of population growth, it exhibits a […]
A wide variety of medical imaging methods exist for research and diagnostic procedures on the Central Nervous System (CNS), among them Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Optical Imaging. Mathematical modeling […]
Extremal graph theory asks how many edges a graph can have while avoiding a given substructure. We will begin with a brief, accessible introduction to this area, before turning to […]
Speaker: Helen Wong (CMC) Title: Introduction to the colored Jones polynomial Abstract: This is a learning seminar. We will present an accessible definition of the colored Jones polynomial for knots […]
Abstract: Stable Khovanov homology Kh(T(n, \infty)) is an algebraic limit of the Khovanov homology groups of torus links T(n, k) on a fixed number of strands n, when more and […]

This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College. Title: The Magic of 0s and 1s Abstract: Have you ever wondered how data in a […]
Political scientists forecast elections, not primarily to satisfy public interest, but to validate statistical models used for estimating quantities of scholarly interest. Although scholars have learned a great deal from […]
The Jones Polynomial is an important invariant of knots with applications in physics, quantum computation and more. In this talk I will introduce a family of generalizations of the Jones […]
Speaker: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer) Title: Introduction to Quantum Invariants of 3-Manifolds Abstract: The previous speakers showed us how to distinguish knots and links using techniques involving quantum groups. I will […]
Abstract: In this talk, we study the optimal timing of selling a risky asset within the distribution builder framework. Instead of specifying a utility function or risk-aversion parameter, this approach […]
