More Examples of Pseudo-Collars on High-Dimensional Manifolds Dr. Jeffrey Rolland Milwaukee School of Engineering Adjunct Instructor of Mathematics “Whyte introduced translation-like actions of groups which as a geometric generalization of subgroup containment. He then proved a geometric reformulation of the... Read More
Context Matters: How Beliefs Impact Reasoning About Calculus and Proofs Ms. Caroline Merighi Tufts University PhD Student “We will look at calculus students' beliefs about mathematics and how those beliefs impact the ways they reason about graphs of functions. We... Read More
Visualizing the Gromov Boundary Mr. Daniel Gulbrandsen University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Teaching Assistant “We will begin with some background of geometric group theory, including notions of quasi-isometry and delta-hyperbolicity. Then, we will define the Gromov boundary and... Read More
Data Science at FedEx Ms. Angela Kao University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Data Scientist for FedEx Ground “This talk will be about transitioning from academic preparation in the atmospheric sciences to professional work in data science.”
Estimating Distortion Risk Measures under Truncated and Censored Data Mr. Sahadeb Upretee University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Dissertator “We will discuss examples of distortion risk measures and model uncertainty.”
Erdos–Rényi Model of Random Graphs Mr. Prayagdeep Parija University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Teaching Assistant “We introduce the Erdos–Rényi model of random graphs and discuss the phase transition that occurs in it.”
Mathematics of Topological Insulators and Semimetals Dr. Tomas Bzdusek Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland & University of Zurich, Switzerland Ambizione Fellow “Many properties of crystalline materials, such as conductivity or the tendency to become magnetically ordered at low temperatures, derive...
