CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Jemma Lorenat (Pitzer) Title: Recognizing data: statistical literacies around 1900 Abstract: This talk centers on the first (and perhaps only) doctorate in the theory of correlations, granted by University College London in 1899 to Alice Lee. The production and reception of Lee's research sheds light on the varieties of […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Robert Sanchez (HMC) Title: Tides: Under the Sea and Under the Ice Abstract: Physical oceanography is the study of ocean fluid dynamics (e.g., waves, currents, plumes, turbulence). This talk will introduce physical oceanography and the methods used to analyze ocean data such as time-series analysis and numerical […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Shriya Nagpal (Pitzer) Title: Synchronization in Erdős–Rényi Graphs with Kuramoto Dynamics: A Graphon Approach Abstract: Networks of coupled Kuramoto oscillators have been used to model a wide array of phenomena, including circadian rhythms, flashing fireflies, and high-voltage electric grids. In many such applications, synchronization is an emergent behavior […]
We'll be back next week! Happy Thanksgiving!
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Konstantin Zuev (Caltech) Title: Course-Prerequisite Networks Abstract: An academic curriculum is a complex system of courses and their interactions that lies at […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by John Baez (UCR) Title: The mathematics of tuning systems Abstract: Leibniz said "Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Teal Witter (CMC) Title: Exactly Computing do-Shapley Values Abstract: Causal questions lie at the heart of scientific inquiry, from evaluating economic policies […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Sofia Martinez Alberga (Bryn Mawr College) Title: Stay in the Loop and Fun Group Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the goal of algebraic topology. After we will discuss a topological space that can be associated with any topological space, say $X$, and base point, $b \in X$: […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College) Title: A new framework for studying transient reactivity in two-dimensional systems. Abstract: Even if a linear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has a globally attracting equilibrium, solutions of the ODEs may grow arbitrarily large in the short-term before returning to the equilibrium […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Harrison Li (HMC) Title: Precise analysis of blocked randomized experiments Abstract: I recently finished a multi-year project with collaborators analyzing a blocked randomized experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of a government job training program for unemployment insurance (UI) recipients in Rhode Island. In presenting the results, I will focus […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Lihong Zhao (Kennesaw State University) Title: Capturing heterogeneity in malaria transmission: an age-structured model with immune feedback and seasonality Abstract: Malaria remains a major global health burden, causing more than 600,000 deaths and over 249 million cases globally each year. Heterogeneity in malaria transmission is a critical factor that […]
