November 11, 2019 -Applied Math Talk: Stochastic similarity matrices and data clustering given by Prof. Denis Gaidashev (Uppsala University)
Applied Math Talk: Stochastic similarity matrices and data clustering given by Prof. Denis Gaidashev (Uppsala University)
Clustering in image analysis is a central technique that allows to classify elements of an image. We describe a simple clustering technique that uses the method of similarity matrices, and an algorithm in which a collection of image elements is treated as a dynamical system. Efficient clustering in this framework is achieved if the dynamical system admits […]

Counting stuff with quantum Airy structures (Vincent Bouchard, University of Alberta)
Mathematicians like to count things. Often in very complicated and fancy ways. In this talk I will explain how we can use quantum Airy structures -- an abstract formalism recently […]
Topology Triple-Header!
This triple-header of topology talks will include three speakers: First, Hyeran Cho from The Ohio State University will speak about Derivation of Schubert normal forms of 2-bridge knots from (1,1)-diagrams. In this talk, we show that the dual (1, 1)-diagram of a (1, 1)-diagram (a.k.a. a two pointed genus one Heegaard diagram) D(a, 0, 1, […]

November 13, 2019 -Let’s count points!
Let’s count points!
A fascinating fact on mathematics is that there are many interesting connections between seemingly different mathematical disciplines. In this talk, I will present a surprising formula counting integral points on polygons and sketch its proof. We will see a delightful interaction between algebra, combinatorics, and geometry. This talk aims primarily for undergraduate students. No prerequisite […]
