Applied Math Seminar: Measurement Error Modeling using Empirical Phase Functions (Prof. Cornelis Potgieter, Southern Methodist University)
Measurement error, formally defined as the difference between the measured value and the true value of a quantity of interest, is ubiquitous. When a doctor takes your blood pressure, the instrumentation may not be properly calibrated and the reading is subject to error. When completing an online Harry Potter Sorting Hat quiz, you may accidentally […]

February 26, 2019 -When is the product of Siegel eigenforms an eigenform? (Jim Brown, Occidental College)
When is the product of Siegel eigenforms an eigenform? (Jim Brown, Occidental College)
Modular forms are ubiquitous in modern number theory. For instance, showing that elliptic curves are secretly modular forms was the key to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In addition […]

Pull Out All The Stops: Textual Analysis via Punctuation Sequences (Mason Porter, UCLA)
Abstract: Whether enjoying the lucid prose of a favorite author or slogging through some other writer's cumbersome, heavy-set prattle (full of parentheses, em-dashes, compound adjectives, and Oxford commas), readers will notice stylistic signatures not only in word choice and grammar, but also in punctuation itself. Indeed, visual sequences of punctuation from different authors produce marvelously […]

Applying Quantum Representations of Mapping Class Groups (Wade Bloomquist, UCSB)
One foundational pillar of low dimensional topology is the connection between link invariants and 3-manifold invariants. One generalization of this has been given by Reshetikhin and Turaev to a surgery theory for colored ribbon graphs. Then to complete the analogy rather than 3-manifold invariants we now have a 2+1 dimensional topology quantum field theory (TQFT). […]
Job Talk – Howard Levinson – Candidate for Assistant Professor in Mathematics
Candidate for Assistant Professor in Mathematics Howard Levinson, University of Michigan Seeing Clearly Through a Microscope The goal of microscope imaging is to obtain high-resolution images of cells. However, due to the underlying physics involved, the resulting images are often blurred. In this talk, I will develop the mathematical framework to describe this blurring, which […]
Applied Math Seminar: Eulerian Approaches based on the Level Set Method for Visualizing Continuous Dynamical Systems (Shingyu Leung, Department of Mathematics, HKUST)
One very important concept in understanding a dynamical system is coherent structure. Such structure segments the domain into different regions with similar behavior according to a quantity. When we try to partition space-time into regions according to a Lagrangian quantity advected along with passive tracers, such class of coherent structure is called the Lagrangian coherent […]

March 2, 2019 -GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory, Part II with Professor Michael Orrison, from Harvey Mudd College
GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory, Part II with Professor Michael Orrison, from Harvey Mudd College
TOPIC: Graph Theory, Part II On the surface, graphs seem to be some of the simplest objects you might encounter in mathematics. After all, they are made up of just two kinds of parts, vertices and edges, and those parts fit together in simple ways. But appearances can be deceiving! In this series of two […]
