SUMMARY:Models of Biological Tissue Electrostatics and Molecular Transport (Jim Sterling\, KGI)
DESCRIPTION: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 requires cations to move toward the macromolecules where they both screen and bind to the negatively-charged groups. An important class of mathematical models of species-flux and electrostatics are known as the Poisson-Nernst-Planck\, or PNP equations. These are partial differential equations describing some important biophysical consequences.

SUMMARY:Matrix multiplication: the hunt for $\omega$ (Mark Huber\, CMC)
DESCRIPTION: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 this talk I’ll discuss his finding\, how the Master Theorem for divide-and-conquer plays into it\, and how it was shown that finding determinants\, inverting matrices\, and Gaussian elimination are the same time complexity as to matrix multiplication.

SUMMARY:A General Bayesian Discrete Time Survival Model (King\, CPP)
DESCRIPTION: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 illicit drug use\, as well as social processes such as educational enrollment and employment. We also present Markov chain Monte Carlo inference algorithms for our model\, along with a freely available software package called “brea” which implements these methods in the R programming language.”

SUMMARY:Geometry of quotient varieties and the algebra of conformal blocks (Han-Bom Moon Fordham University)
DESCRIPTION: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 generalization of this question and explain how we may relate this question to geometry of quotients of certain complex manifolds. This is joint work with Sang-Bum Yoo.

SUMMARY:GEMS Workshop: "Graphs\, matrices\, and recurrences" with Professor Lucas Bang\, from Harvey Mudd College
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Graphs\, matrices\, and recurrences \nAbstract: 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\, we will learn how graph problems can be translated to and from matrix problems. We will also see how both graphs and matrices are related to recursive integer sequences (like the famous Fibonacci numbers). \nWHAT IS GEMS: \nThe Gateway to Exploring Mathematics program (GEMS) is a series of workshops that helps excite the interests and curiosity of young students in mathematics and science \nGEMS meets once a month on a Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM \nGEMS is designed to reach 8th\, 9th and 10th grade students who have an interest in mathematics and science \nParticipants interact with excellent and award winning faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from each of the seven Claremont Colleges \nSPRING 2019 DATES: \nFebruary 2\, 2019 \nMarch 2\, 2019 \nApril 13\, 2019 \nREGISTRATION: \nTo register for our workshop on April 13\, please click on the following link: \nhttps://tinyurl.com/GEMS2019Spring3 \nANY QUESTIONS: \nPlease contact our 2018-2019 GEMS coordinator\, Elsa Harris at Elsa.Harris@cgu.edu
