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).<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT IS GEMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 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<\/p>\n<p>GEMS meets once a month on a Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM<\/p>\n<p>GEMS is designed to reach 8th, 9th and 10th grade students who have an interest in mathematics and science<\/p>\n<p>Participants interact with excellent and award winning faculty, staff, students and alumni from each of the seven Claremont Colleges<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPRING 2019 DATES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>February 2, 2019<\/p>\n<p>March 2, 2019<\/p>\n<p>April 13, 2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>REGISTRATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To register for our workshop on April 13, please click on the following link:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/GEMS2019Spring3\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/GEMS2019Spring3<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ANY QUESTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please contact our 2018-2019 GEMS coordinator, Elsa Harris at Elsa.Harris@cgu.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOPIC: Graphs, matrices, and recurrences Abstract: In mathematics, we are often surprised to find that problems that look very different are actually the same problem in a different guise!
