The Marden Lecture brings a distinguished guest to campus each year. The lecture is for a general audience and advanced math knowledge is not required - it is designed to explore a fascinating aspect of math. The lecture portion of …
Presented by Dr. Steve Butler, Professor of Mathematics, Iowa State University. A classic problem in mathematics is "Can you hear the shape of a drum?" In graph theory, this is often phrased in terms of the eigenvalues of matrices associated …
Presented by Dr. Erik Insko, Professor of Mathematics, Iowa State University. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to Ehrhart polynomials, which count the number of lattice points in a convex lattice polytope and also describe the polytope's …
If G is a Lie group, let Sub(G) be the set of all subgroups H of G that are topologically closed subsets of G. There is a natural topology on Sub(G), called the Chabauty topology. We’ll define the Chabauty topology, …
Presented by Dr. Mark Colarusso, Professor of Mathematics, University of South Alabama. In the 19th century, physicists were interested in determining the conditions under which the equations of motion for a classical mechanical system could be found by integrating a …
Dr. Laura Colmenarejo, Professor of Mathematics, North Carolina State University. In algebraic combinatorics, the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm is a fundamental correspondence between words and pairs of semistandard tableaux illustrating identities of dimensions of irreducible representations of several groups. In this talk, …
Presented by Dr. Michael Dairyko, Director of Ticketing Analytics, Milwaukee Bucks. Data science is a continuously evolving field that lives at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Many industries have started to utilize data science to extract valuable …
The annual Marden Lecture in Math is presented by Dr. Joel Nagloo, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois, Chicago. The Painlevé equations are second order ordinary differential equations that come in six families P1 - P6. They …
Department of Mathematical Sciences Colloquium presented by Dr. Bogdan Nica, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Matrices of determinant 1 can be reduced to the identity matrix by row- and column-operations. This is a well-known fact of linear algebra--assuming that we work …
Department of Mathematical Sciences Colloquium presented by Bart Adrian, UWM. Atmospheric science provides excellent opportunities for encouraging student interest in all fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). A model outreach program (“Chasing the Wind: Tools for Understanding the Weather”) …
Department of Mathematical Sciences Colloquium presented by Dr. Selvi Kara, Bryn Mawr College. One of the central problems in commutative algebra concerns understanding the structure of an ideal in a polynomial ring. Abstractly, an ideal’s structure can be expressed through …
When we witness unexpected phenomena, a mathematician finds themselves asking: why? We are compelled to understand further; what is the cause, the basic underlying principles? Mathematics is full of symmetries, patterns and visuals that we can appreciate in their own …
