An Examination of an ODE Model of Braitenberg Vehicles Mr. Spencer Franks PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Braitenberg Vehicles are simple agents that respond to stimuli according to a small set of rules. Despite this simplicity, they can... Read More
Structure-Randomness and The Green-Tao Theorem Mr. Kushlam Srivastava PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee In this talk we will give a brief introduction of the dichotomy between structure and randomness in the context of Szemeredi's Theorem and the celebrated... Read More
Julia Sets in Parameter Space for the Generalized McMullen Map Mrs. Kelsey Brouwer PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee We will begin by introducing the field of complex dynamics and explaining the two types of pictures that dynamicists are... Read More
Introduction to Topological Combinatorics Mr. Joe Paulson PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee With the prominence of topology and combinatorics at UWM, we'll explore the intersection of these fields. This relatively new field originated with the solving of Kneser's... Read More
Representations of the Natural Numbers Using Box Arrangements Mr. Joakim Jakovleski PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Natural numbers can be presented as sums of numbers in boxes, where we are subject to certain rules about how we generate... Read More
Games, Winning, and Nimbers Mr. John Museus PhD Student University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee The Nimbers are a particularly peculiar Field which arises naturally when studying the winning strategies of Impartial Games. In this talk, we will give a brief... Read More
Sandpile Group For Cones Over Trees Dorian Smith PhD Student University of Minnesota Twin Cities The sandpile group $K(G)$ of a graph $G$ is a finite abelian group, isomorphic to the cokernel of the reduced graph Laplacian of $G.$ We... Read More
On the Lucky and Displacement Statistics of Stirling Permutations Dorian Smith PhD Student University of Minnesota Twin Cities Stirling permutations are parking functions. We investigate two parking function statistics in the context of these objects: lucky cars and displacement. Among... Read More
A Primer on the Mathematics of Artificial Neural Networks Daniel Quigley PhD Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Artificial neural networks (ANNs, or, simply, neural networks) are ubiquitous, not least of all in the context of modern machine learning. This presentation is... Read More
