SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Ivy Xiong (USC)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A common pathway to cancer: oncogenic mutations abolish p53 oscillations. \nAbstract:\nThe tumor suppressor p53 oscillates in response to DNA double-strand breaks\, a behavior that has been suggested to be essential to its anti-cancer function. Nearly all human cancers have genetic alterations in the p53 pathway; a number of these alterations have been shown to be oncogenic by experiment. These alterations include somatic mutations and copy number variations as well as germline polymorphisms. Intriguingly\, they exhibit a mixed pattern of interactions in tumors\, such as co-occurrence\, mutual exclusivity\, and paradoxically\, mutual antagonism. Using a differential equation model of p53-Mdm2 dynamics\, I employ Hopf bifurcation analysis to show that these alterations have a common mode of action\, to abolish the oscillatory competence of p53\, thereby impairing its tumor suppressive function. In this analysis\, diverse genetic alterations\, widely associated with human cancers clinically\, have a unified mechanistic explanation of their role in oncogenesis. In this talk\, I will also discuss the role of physiological oscillations in health and disease broadly. \nReferences: \nXiong\, L.\, and Garfinkel\, A. (2022).

SUMMARY:Noise stability of ranked choice voting (Steven Heilman\, USC)
DESCRIPTION:Given votes for candidates\, what is the best way to determine the winner of the election\, if some of the votes have been corrupted or miscounted?  As we saw in Florida in 2000\, where a difference of 537 votes determined the president of the United States\, the electoral college system does not seem to be the best voting method. We will survey some recent progress on the above question along with some open problems. In particular\, we consider which ranked choice voting method is most stable to corrupted or miscounted votes. \nhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11183

SUMMARY:Wallis and Landen: A Tale of two integrals (Prof. Victor Moll\, Tulane University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Wallis and Landen: A Tale of two integrals \nSpeaker: Victor Moll\, Department of Mathematics\, Tulane University \nAbstract: Victor Moll Abstract \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nI was born in Santiago\, Chile during the last millenium\, on October 31st. My father was a doctor in a small town. I must have been bothering my family\, so they put me to school at an early age. My first mathematical mentor was Maria Pardo\, who recognized that I had some talent for Mathematics. Since this came easy\, I spent most of my middle and high school years trying to learn some more. The other subjects suffered.\nAfter high-school\, liking Mathematics\, I enrolled in an Engineering School. Not a good idea. But since one could transfer to study Mathematics\, everything worked out fine. After graduation\, since PhD’s in Math were rare in Chile\, I was hired as a faculty member of Universidad Santa Maria (not a catholic school\, this is the last name of some rich chilean person). In 1980 I left for New York City\, to begin my graduate education at the Courant Institute of NYU. I was interested in Number Theory and this is one of the best places for Applied Mathematics. Talk about being clueless. There I met my wife\, Lisa Fauci\, then also a student. (She is the former president of SIAM and has a large collections of well-deserved awards). We both got positions at Tulane University in 1986. We figure we will try New Orleans for a year or two. Never left.\nMy PhD thesis was in the stability of waves for a model for nerve conduction. Did that until I got tenure. After tenure I spent a sabbatical to finish writing a book on Elliptic Curves (jointly with my advisor\, Henry McKean). Then a piece of luck: a first year graduate student (George Boros) told me that he could compute an integral. Not impressed\, I tried Mathematica and it was unable to find the answer. This changed my research area. I have been computing integrals since then. Have written a variety of papers on this and three books (at diverse levels). I am currently the scientific editor of the table by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik\, one of the most used tables in the world.\nI enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students\, professional colleagues and amateurs. I have been part of REU programs such as SIMU (in Puerto Rico)\, MSRI-UP (at Berkeley) and a variety of summer programs at Tulane. Lately I have been participating in programs aimed at faculty coming from institutions with high teaching load (Park City\, Utah and ICERM\, at Brown). My latest projects involves a new method called ”The method of brackets”\, invented by my collaborator Ivan Gonzalez\, a professor of Physics in Valparaiso\, Chile. Our works deals with the evaluation of Feynman diagrams\, coming in the description of elementary particles. To me\, this is the last leg of a cycle. As a high school student\, I wanted to study Particle Physics. It is never too late to go back to the beginning.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Johannes Brust (UCSD)
DESCRIPTION:Title: PLSS: A Projected Linear Systems Solver (joint work with Michael Saunders) \nAbstract:\nIteratively solving linear systems has proven to be useful for many large applications. Projection methods use sketching matrices (possibly randomized) to generate a sequence of small projected subproblems\, but even the smaller systems can be costly. We develop a method in which one column is added to the sketching matrix each iteration. By choosing the sequence of all previous residuals for a sketch\, we derive an iterative process with orthogonal residuals that leads to a simple recursive update to approximate the solution. In exact arithmetic\, our method (PLSS) converges in at most \(n\) iterations\, where \(n\) is the column rank of matrix \(A\). In experiments on large sparse systems\, PLSS compares favorably with deterministic and state-of-the-art randomized methods.

SUMMARY:Discrete Calculus through generating functions (Wai Yan Pong\, Cal State Dominguez Hills)
DESCRIPTION:Discrete Calculus studies discrete structures\, such as sequences and graphs\, using techniques similar to those used in Calculus for continuous functions. The basic idea of generating functions is to associate a function with a sequence so that the coefficients of the power series expansion of the function represent the terms of the sequence. They provide a systematic way to encode information about a sequence or a combinatorial structure in a single function\, which can then be manipulated algebraically to obtain various types of results. In this talk\, we will examine a few well-known results about binomial coefficients\, Stirling numbers and Bernoulli numbers using both Discrete Calculus and generating functions as well as the interaction between them.

SUMMARY:Sequential: A Meditation on Recurrence (Prof. Ghassan Sarkis\, Pomona College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Sequential: A Meditation on Recurrence \nSpeaker: Ghassan Sarkis\, Department of Mathematics\, Pomona College \nAbstract: Though I will share some adventures in sequence-generating neural networks just for fun\, the majority of this talk will be concerned with Fibonacci sequences modulo $p$ and $p^2$ from data-inflected and number-theoretic perspectives\, including questions about periods of the modular sequence (how long before it repeats itself?) and associated frequencies (how many of each residue is there?) also just for fun. Most of the presentation should be understandable to math students with exposure to linear algebra and modular arithmetic\, and will include some suggested paths they may want to pursue in their own research as well. \n\n\n\n\n\nGhassan Sarkis is an Associate Professor of Mathematics & Statistics at Pomona College to his great surprise. His training is in number theory\, though he enjoys dabbling in combinatorics\, data science\, and some other puzzles that cross his path. He is very excited to discover what happens next.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Emily de Jong (Caltech)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Modeling size distributions and collisions in cloud microphysics \nAbstract:\nFeedbacks between a warming atmosphere\, emission of aerosols\, and clouds and precipitation are one of the most difficult aspects for climate models to accurately capture. While these models operate at resolutions of tens or hundreds of kilometers\, many of the physics that determine how and where clouds form or precipitate function at the micron droplet scale. This separation of scales means that most of these “microphysics” must be modeled with only a few approximate quantities and physical equations. These simplifications lead to large uncertainties about the future climate\, such as the sensitivity of global warming to human-emitted aerosols.   \nThis talk presents two promising techniques for mathematically representing droplet size distributions and the microphysics that govern how droplets within the distribution evolve. The first method attempts to span a gap in complexity between a simple method of moments and expensive “bin” or spectral representations by collocating smooth basis functions over the droplet size domain. With intelligently selected basis functions\, this approach can represent the process of cloud droplets coalescing to form rain with bin-like accuracy\, but with a degree of complexity that is attainable for global simulations. Next\, we present a high-complexity high-fidelity Lagrangian approach known as the superdroplet method. This approach shows promise as a research tool to verify and train future microphysics models\, but it is currently incomplete in its purview of droplet physics. We describe a probabilistic approach to representing collisional breakup\, an often-overlooked process that can impact precipitation rates\, cloud lifetime\, and aerosol processing.

SUMMARY:Systems of homogeneous polynomials over finite fields with maximum number of common zeros (Sudhir Ghorpade\, IIT Bombay)
DESCRIPTION:It is elementary and well known that a nonzero polynomial in one variable of degree d with coefficients in a field F has at most d zeros in F. It is meaningful to ask similar questions for systems of several polynomials in several variables of a fixed degree\, provided the base field F is finite. These questions become particularly interesting and challenging when one restricts to polynomials that are homogeneous\, and considers zeros (other than the origin) that are non-proportional to each other. More precisely\, we consider the following question: \nGiven a system of a fixed number of linearly independent homogeneous polynomial equations of a fixed degree with coefficients in a fixed finite field F\, what is the maximum number of common zeros they can have in the corresponding protective space over F?The case of a single homogeneous polynomial (or in geometric terms\, a projective hypersurface) corresponds to a classical inequality proved by Serre in 1989. For the general case\, an elaborate conjecture was made by Tsfasman and Boguslavsky\, which was open for almost two decades. Recently significant progress in this direction has been made\, and it is shown that while the Tsfasman-Boguslavsky Conjecture is true in certain cases\, it can be false in general. Some new conjectures have also been proposed. We will give a motivated outline of these developments. If there is time and interest\, connections to coding theory or to the problem of counting points of sections of Veronese varieties by linear subvarieties of a fixed dimension will also be outlined. \nThis talk is mainly based on joint works with Mrinmoy Datta and with Peter Beelen and Mrinmoy Datta.

SUMMARY:A Brief History of Calculating Machines (Prof. Yousef Daneshbod\, University of La Verne)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A Brief History of Calculating Machines \nSpeaker: Yousef Daneshbod\, Department of Mathematics\, University of La Verne \nAbstract: Calculating machines are digital or analog devices designed to perform mathematical calculations. These machines have a long history\, with the earliest known examples dating back to ancient times\, when people used sticks and stones for counting. However\, the first mechanical calculators were invented in early modern period thanks to the theoretical development of mathematics and the growing need for more sophisticated computations. Today\, calculating machines are all around us; changing the way we live our lives. In this talk\, I will explain the evolution of early calculating machines and the key people involved with its development. \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Yousef Daneshbod\, Associate Professor of Mathematics has been teaching at the University of La Verne since 2007. Prior to joining La Verne\, he was a Lecturer in Mathematics at Calpoly Pomona and an Adjunct Professor at Citrus College. Dr. Daneshbod received his B.S. and M.S both in mechanical engineering from Shiraz University in Iran. In the year 2001 he abandoned his studies for a PhD in mechanical engineering just one year before completion and along with his wife immigrated to the U.S. His love for mathematics motivated him to pursue a PhD degree in applied mathematics from the Claremont Graduate University\, eventually graduating in the summer of 2006. Dr. Daneshbod believes that the combination of clear classroom notes along with symbolic computer software can serve as an excellent pedagogical tool for making mathematics much more fun and intuitive for the students. His primary fields of interest include mathematical modeling in microfluidics\, theoretical and computational mechanics and wave propagation in anisotropic media. He is also interested in mathematics education in a liberal arts setting where he tries to inspire his students by exposing them to historical sketches of famous scientists and mathematicians.

SUMMARY:Bias in cubic Gauss sums: Patterson's conjecture (Alex Dunn\, CalTech)
DESCRIPTION:We prove\, in this joint work with Maksym Radziwill\, a 1978 conjecture of S. Patterson (conditional on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) concerning the bias of cubic Gauss sums. This explains a well-known numerical bias in the distribution of cubic Gauss sums first observed by Kummer in 1846. One important byproduct of our proof is that we show Heath-Brown’s cubic large sieve is sharp under GRH.  This disproves the popular belief that the cubic large sieve can be improved. An important ingredient in our proof is a dispersion estimate for cubic Gauss sums. It can be interpreted as a cubic large sieve with correction by a non-trivial asymptotic main term.

She is also particularly interested in utilizing the usage of various parameter sensitivity techniques\, nonlinear mixed-effects modeling\, and parametrization techniques to leverage the modeling process to effectively solve important problems within the pharmaceutical industry.\n\nSession 4 \n\n\nDwight Anderson Williams II is a son of Saint Paul\, Minnesota\, who has moved between the shining seas. He studied mathematics at Florida A&M University (BS)\, The Florida State University (MS)\, and The University of Texas at Arlington (PhD). After holding a postdoc position at Iowa State University\, he is now a visiting assistant professor at Pomona College. The Williams Family is\nsoon on its way to Baltimore\, Maryland\, where Dwight will start as an incoming (Fall 2023) tenure-track assistant professor of mathematics at Morgan State University\, a PhD-granting HBCU.\n\nMy name is Casey Johnson. I graduated from Claremont Graduate University (CGU) in Fall 2020. Currently I am a Visiting Adjunct Professor (postdoc) at UCLA studying Opinion Dynamics and Particle Laden Flow and teaching upper division courses. While a student at CGU\, I held part time positions teaching at East Los Angeles College\, Citrus College\, Chaffey College\, and Whittier College. Before completing my PhD\, I was hired by Whittier College for a full-time teaching position from 2018-2022.\nChristina Durón (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Natural Science Division of Seaver College at Pepperdine University. Prior to joining Pepperdine\, she was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona for three years. She received her PhD in Mathematics at Claremont Graduate University in May 2019 under the supervision of Professor Ami Radunskaya and Professor Jo Hardin from Pomona College. Her research is in network analysis and network theory. With an application-driven perspective\, she develops computational techniques to model\, analyze\, and explore relational data from a variety of fields (e.g.\, biological\, social\, transportation).\n\n
