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 URL:https://colleges.claremont.edu/ccms/event/gems-workshop-graphs-matrices-and-recurrences-with-professor-lucas-bang-from-harvey-mudd-college/ LOCATION:Shanahan 1480\, Harvey Mudd College\, 301 Platt Blvd.\, Claremont\, CA\, 91711\, United States CATEGORIES:GEMS ORGANIZER;CN="Elsa Harris":MAILTO:elsa.harris@cgu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190302T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190302T120000 DTSTAMP:20260520T045618 CREATED:20190115T200155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190115T200155Z UID:1107-1551520800-1551528000@colleges.claremont.edu SUMMARY:GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory\, Part II with Professor Michael Orrison\, from Harvey Mudd College DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Graph Theory\, Part II \nOn 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 workshops\, we’ll explore several surprising facts about graphs. Along the way\, we’ll see how graphs arise in a variety of settings\, and how they give rise to many challenging but worthwhile problems. \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 next event on March 2\, please click on the following link: \nhttps://tinyurl.com/GEMS2019Spring2 \nANY QUESTIONS: \nPlease contact our 2018-2019 GEMS coordinator\, Elsa Harris at Elsa.Harris@cgu.edu URL:https://colleges.claremont.edu/ccms/event/gems-workshop-graph-theory-part-ii-with-professor-michael-orrison-from-harvey-mudd-college/ LOCATION:Shanahan 1480\, Harvey Mudd College\, 301 Platt Blvd.\, Claremont\, CA\, 91711\, United States CATEGORIES:GEMS ORGANIZER;CN="Elsa Harris":MAILTO:elsa.harris@cgu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190202T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190202T120000 DTSTAMP:20260520T045618 CREATED:20190115T195645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190115T195645Z UID:1104-1549101600-1549108800@colleges.claremont.edu SUMMARY:GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory\, Part I with Professor Michael Orrison\, from Harvey Mudd College DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Graph Theory\, Part I \nOn the surface\, graphs seem to be some of the simplest objects you might encounter in mathematics.
