    Experimental Methods in Combinatorics Dr. Jay Pantone Assistant Professor of Mathematics Marquette University What number comes next in the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ... ? How about 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... ? Or maybe …

  • Marden Lecture: Professor Caroline J Klivans

    Lubar Hall N140 3202 N Maryland Ave, Milwaukee, WI, United States

    The intrigue that compels us  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 …

  • Marden Special Topics Seminar: Prof. Caroline Klivans

    EMS Building, EMS E495 3200 Cramer St, Milwaukee, WI, United States

    The Mathematics of Chip-Firing Caroline Klivans Professor of Applied Mathematics, Deputy Director of ICERM Brown University Chip-firing processes are discrete dynamical systems. A commodity (chips, sand, dollars) is exchanged between sites of a network according to simple local rules. Although …

  • Graduate Student Colloquium: Kimberly Hadaway

    EMS Building, Room E495 E495; 3200 N Cramer St., Milwaukee, WI, United States

    On Combinatorial Problems of Generalized Parking Functions Kimberly Hadaway PhD Student Iowa State University In this talk, we study combinatorial problems related to generalized parking functions. Our work is motivated by two different research questions posed to us by Dr. …

  • Colloquium: Prof. Yoichiro Mori

    EMS Building, EMS E495 3200 Cramer St, Milwaukee, WI, United States

    Mathematical Modeling of Cell Volume Control and Electrolyte Balance Prof. Yoichiro Mori Professor of Mathematics University of Pennsylvania Electrolyte and cell volume regulation is essential in physiological systems. Biophysical modeling in this area, however, has been relatively sparse. After a …

  • Graduate Student Colloquium: Matt McClinton

    EMS Building, Room E495 E495; 3200 N Cramer St., Milwaukee, WI, United States

    Harmonize your Fractals Matt McClinton Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The Sierpinski Gasket (SG) is a known fractal object. A simple observation shows that SG is path connected. Unfortunately, the infinitely jagged structure of the Gasket prevents these paths from …

  • Colloquium: Prof. Roger Howe

    EMS Building, EMS E495 3200 Cramer St, Milwaukee, WI, United States

    Mathematics around the Heisenberg Group Prof. Roger Howe Professor Emeritus Yale University In the mid 1920s, Werner Heisenberg formulated the CCR – canonical commutation relations – describing the relationship between the operations of measuring position and of measuring momentum of …

  • PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. William Braubach

    EMS Building, Room E425 E425; 3200 N Cramer St., Milwaukee, WI, United States

    Coarse Homotopy Extension Property and its Applications Mr. William Braubach University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee A pair (X, A) has the homotopy extension property if any homotopy of A can be extended to a homotopy of X. The main goal of this …

  • Graduate Student Colloquium: Alex Moon

    EMS Building, Room E495 E495; 3200 N Cramer St., Milwaukee, WI, United States

    Counting Orbits of Defective Parking Functions Alex Moon PhD Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Parking functions are well-studied objects in combinatorics and representation theory which constitute tuples of preferred parking spots for cars under a linear parking scheme. This talk will …
