Title: Modeling size distributions and collisions in cloud microphysics Abstract: Feedbacks 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 […]

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. […]

Title: A Brief History of Calculating Machines Speaker: Yousef Daneshbod, Department of Mathematics, University of La Verne Abstract: 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 […]
