Title: Traditional Applied Math, and then, Working with High Dimensional Biological Data Abstract: I will give an overview of my interests in two parts. The first part will be on passive tracer problems – with the goal of finding formulas of descriptive statistics (mean, variance, skewness) for a solute distribution advected by a smooth flow […]
A Belyi map $\beta: \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C}) \to \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ is a rational function with at most three critical values; we may assume these values are $\{ 0, \, 1, \, \infty \}$. […]
Jim Hoste will do an interpretive knot dance.
Title: Interrupted Time Series Models for Assessing Complex Health Care Interventions Maricela Cruz, PhD Assistant Investigator Biostatistics Unit Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute Abstract: Assessing the impact of complex interventions […]
Title: Circadian Rhythms in Multinucleate Cells Abstract: Circadian rhythms are among the most researched cellular processes, but limited work has been done on how these rhythms are coordinated between nuclei in multinucleate […]
The complete homogeneous symmetric (CHS) polynomials can be used to define a family of norms on Hermitian matrices. These 'CHS norms' are peculiar in the sense that they depend only on the […]
Title: Untying Knots with Neural Nets Abstract: Neural networks can transform 3-dimensional data in a manner reminiscent of an ambient isotopy. With some modifications, a neural network can be trained […]
Title: What we talk about when we talk about math Speaker: Prof. Lillian Pierce, Nicholas J. and Theresa M. Leonardy Professor of Mathematics at Duke University Abstract: In 1864, the […]
No applied math talk
Panelists: Tatiana Bradley, Michelle Goodwin, Isys Johnson, John Lentfer, and Matthew vonAllmen We will have a panel discussion with graduates from the Claremont Consortium who have taken different pathways after graduation. After […]
Title: A Recommendation Systems Approach for Detecting Epistasis Abstract: There are a variety of methods used to understand and interpret an organism’s phenotype, the physical expression of one or more […]
It is widely believed that Weierstrass ignored Eisenstein's theory of elliptic functions and developed an alternative treatment, which is now standard, because of a convergence issue. In particular, the Eisenstein […]
