April 8, 2019 -Models of Biological Tissue Electrostatics and Molecular Transport (Jim Sterling, KGI)
Models of Biological Tissue Electrostatics and Molecular Transport (Jim Sterling, KGI)
In this presentation, some fundamentals of electrostatics in biology will be discussed with focus on the fact that most biological macromolecules including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins are negatively-charged. Electroneutrality […]

April 9, 2019 -Matrix multiplication: the hunt for $\omega$ (Mark Huber, CMC)
Matrix multiplication: the hunt for $\omega$ (Mark Huber, CMC)
For centuries finding the determinant of a matrix was considered to be something that took $\Theta(n^3)$ steps. Only in 1969 did Strassen discover that there was a faster method. In […]

April 10, 2019 -A General Bayesian Discrete Time Survival Model (King, CPP)
A General Bayesian Discrete Time Survival Model (King, CPP)
Abstract: "We present a general Bayesian statistical model for discrete time, discrete state space stochastic processes. Applications include the modeling of recurrent and episodic disease processes, such as episodes of […]

April 11, 2019 -Geometry of quotient varieties and the algebra of conformal blocks (Han-Bom Moon Fordham University)
Geometry of quotient varieties and the algebra of conformal blocks (Han-Bom Moon Fordham University)
An important question in classical representation theory is when the tensor product of two irreducible representations has another representation as a factor. In this talk, I will introduce a quantum […]

April 13, 2019 -GEMS Workshop: “Graphs, matrices, and recurrences” with Professor Lucas Bang, from Harvey Mudd College
GEMS Workshop: “Graphs, matrices, and recurrences” with Professor Lucas Bang, from Harvey Mudd College
TOPIC: Graphs, matrices, and recurrences Abstract: In mathematics, we are often surprised to find that problems that look very different are actually the same problem in a different guise! In this seminar, we will build on the previous discussions about graph theory and describe how other areas of math are closely related to graphs. Specifically, […]
