SUMMARY:Marden Lecture Series Presents: Juggling Counts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Prof. Steve Butler\, Morrill\, Professor of Mathematics at Iowa State University \nMathematics is a language which can help us describe and explore patterns. One source of patterns that mathematicians have been exploring comes from juggling (the tossing of objects\, usually balls or clubs). We will look at multiple ways to describe juggling patterns that allow us to find new juggling patterns\, and to count how many possible patterns exist. We can compare answers to various problems to give a combinatorial proof of Worpitzky’s identity. We will also look at a few juggling-based problems that mathematics has not yet succeeded in answering. \nThis event is a part of the Marden Lecture Series\, each Spring the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites a distinguished mathematician to lecture to a general audience. The Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 – 1991)\, who founded our graduate program and made our department a research department. The Marden lecture is funded through the Miriam and Morris Marden Fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture in Math: The intrigue that compels us
DESCRIPTION: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 right or use to explain and illustrate concepts. And\, they can also drive us to discovery. I will tell a story of chip-firing\, a mathematical idea that leads to fascinatingly intricate structures. The imagery of these structures has spurred many questions to which we know surprisingly few answers. \nPresented by Professor Caroline Klivans\, Brown University. \nA reception follows the lecture in EMS E495. \nThe Marden lecture\, along with Marden scholarships\, is supported by the Marden family. Dr. Morris Marden (1905-1991) was a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and is generally considered to have been the founder of the Mathematics Department at UWM as a research department\, and he is the person most responsible for the beginning of graduate programs at UWM.

SUMMARY:The Painlevé Equations Through The Lens Of Algebra: 120 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:The annual Marden Lecture in Math is presented by Dr. Joel Nagloo\, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois\, Chicago. \nThe Painlevé equations are second order ordinary differential equations that come in six families P1 – P6. They were discovered strictly for mathematical considerations\, in the early part of the 20th century\, by mathematicians Paul Painlevé\, Bertrand Gambier and Richard Fuchs. Nevertheless\, these equations have arisen in a variety of important physical applications including for example statistical mechanics\, random matrix theory\, general relativity and fibre optics. In this talk\, I will start by giving an overview of the history of the Painlevé equations and describing the classical questions surrounding the transcendental nature of their solutions. I will then explain how\, in recent years\, considerable progress has been made in understanding these equations algebraically. \nDr. Nagloo holds a bachelor’s degree in math from the University of Mauritius\, an MSc in pure mathematics from Imperial College London\, and a PhD in mathematics from the University of Leeds in London. \nReception follows in EMS E495.

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture: The Mathematics of Déjà Vu
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe lecture portion of the event is from 2 to 3 followed by a reception in EMS E495. \nProfessor Amie Wilkinson from the University of Chicago will address the mathematics of déjà vu. Dynamics is an area of mathematics concerned with the motion of spaces (“dynamical systems”) over time. Dynamics has its roots in the late nineteenth century\, when it was developed as a tool to understand physical phenomena\, such as the motion of gas molecules in a box and planets around the sun. A simple and yet powerful concept in dynamics is that of recurrence. In everyday language\, recurrence is the mathematical version of déjà vu: a motion of a space is recurrent if\, given enough time\, it eventually returns to its original configuration (allowing for a small amount of error). In this talk\, I will describe how mathematical results about recurrence can be used to answer surprisingly disparate questions\, from the mixing and unmixing of two ideal gases in a box\, to deep properties of the prime numbers\, to the discovery of exoplanets in nearby solar systems. \nThe Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 – 1991)\, who founded UWM’s graduate math program and made the department a research department.
