Dynamical Modeling of Complex Adaptive Systems: Applications to Social Insect Colonies Dr. Yun Kang Professor of Applied Mathematics Arizona State University A complex adaptive system (CAS) is a system that is complex in that it is a dynamic network of... Read More
Algebraic Geometry in Evolutionary Biology Dr. Elizabeth Gross Associate Professor University of Hawaii at Manoa One of the main goals of phylogenomics is to understand the evolutionary history of a set of species. These histories are represented by directed graphs... Read More
Combinatorial Problems Related to Optimal Transport and Parking Functions Mr. Jan Kretschmann University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dissertator In the first part, we show contributions to optimal transport through work on the discrete Earth Mover's Distance (EMD). We provide a new formula... 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
A General Theory of Coexistence for Stochastic Populations Dr. Alexandru Hening Assistant Professor of Mathematics Texas A&M University One of the longstanding, fundamental problems in population biology is understanding the coexistence of multiple interacting species. In order to accurately... Read More
A finite geometry problem from some conjectures of Brauer Prof. Michael Geline Professor of Mathematics Northern Illinois University We will begin with a problem in "finite geometry" which captures at least some of the spirit of algebraic geometry in positive... Read More
A Tree Approach to Solving Diophantine Equations Dr. Eva Goaedhart Visiting Scholar Franklin & Marshall College Diophantine equations are easy to state equations that often require complicated tools to solve. After introducing Diophantine equations, I will present a visual approach... 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
