  • Applied Math Seminar: Ryan O’Dowd (Claremont Graduate University)

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

    Title: Learning on manifolds without manifold learning Abstract: Function approximation based on data drawn randomly from an unknown distribution is an important problem in machine learning. The manifold hypothesis assumes that the data is sampled from an unknown submanifold of a high dimensional Euclidean space. A great deal of research deals with obtaining information about […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Reginald Anderson (Claremont McKenna College)

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

    We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Reginald Anderson (Claremont McKenna College) Title: Kontsevich's Recursive Formula for Rational Plane Curves Abstract: Gromov-Witten theory was developed in the 1990s as a curve-counting theory by integrating cohomology classes against a virtual fundamental class for a moduli space of stable maps. One […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Scott Taylor (Colby College)

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

    We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Scott Taylor (Colby College) Title: Genus 1 Bridge Number of Satellite Knots in Lens Spaces Abstract: In the mid-1950s, Horst Schubert introduced two ideas which turned out to have lasting impact in knot theory: satellite knots and bridge number. A Satellite knot […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: (Scott Taylor, Colby College, Maine)

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

    Speaker:  Scott Taylor, Professor of Mathematics, Colby College, Maine Title:  Sums and Symmetries Abstract: Adding is one of the fundamental mathematical operations and we like it so much, we can't […]

  • GEMS April 5th Session

    Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Bahar Acu from Pitzer College. Title: The Hole Truth: When is a Coffee Mug a Donut? Abstract:  In mathematics, topology is the study of properties of shapes that remain unchanged when shapes are bent, stretched, or deformed—so long as they aren’t torn or punctured. To a mathematician studying topology, a […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Ethan Epperly (Caltech)

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

    Title: Randomly pivoted Cholesky: Fast, accurate matrix approximation for scientific machine learning Abstract: Low-rank approximation of positive semidefinite matrices is a basic problem in computational mathematics, with many applications to machine learning and scientific computing. Existing approaches for this problem largely fall into two categories: simple, fast, but sometimes inaccurate methods and sophisticated, slower methods […]
