SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Joseph Rennie
DESCRIPTION:(Higher) Categorical Galois Theory for the Aspiring Mathematician \nHere we focus on the function/motivation of specific structures (most likely new to the audience) in high-level mathematics with the aim of highlighting major themes in the broader canvas of modern mathematics. Specifically\, Galois Theoretic ideas emerge across disciplines\, all as instances of a single theorem in (higher) category theory. This talk uses that idea to motivate a journey through three main themes relevant to any area: \n\nThe ubiquity of presheaf localizations\nThe concept of a classifying object\nThe pervasiveness of Algebro-Geometric duality\n\nIn some parts\, I will use categorical-theoretic language not with the expectation that people speak the language\, but rather as a demonstration of the beauty of the perspective gained by acquiring fluency. (What better way to motivate oneself to learn a new language than to listen to some of its poetry?) \nThis talk also serves as an onboarding for those interested in research projects on this topic. Though the talk should also inspire those who have no interest in category-theoretic research.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kushlam Srivastava
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups\nA key idea in the field of geometric group theory is to study geometric and topological objects associated with groups. Boundaries of groups are examples of such objects. In this talk we will look at boundaries of (relatively) hyperbolic groups and see how their topology is directly related to algebraic properties of groups. This expository talk is meant to be an entry point for the audience to explore geometric group theory and no prior knowledge except basic topology is needed.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Trevor Leslie
DESCRIPTION:Sticky Particle Solutions of the Euler Alignment system \nThis talk is about the Euler Alignment system from the field of collective behavior. After a primer on modeling considerations and the equations at issue\, we discuss the weak solution theory developed by Leslie and Tan via using a sticky particle discretization technique pioneered by Brenier and Grenier. The special structure of the equations allows us a detailed look into the time-asymptotic behavior of the system\, including the structure of so-called “flocking states”.

SUMMARY:Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:From Beliefs to Practice\, Expanding Collaboration in Mathematics Classrooms\nCollaboration in mathematics classrooms is not only a logistical challenge. It is a belief-driven one. This interactive conversation will explore how instructor beliefs and instructional identities shape how we design tasks\, structure class sessions\, and respond to student thinking. Participants will examine strategies for supporting small-group collaboration that work (even in less-than-ideal physical spaces) while also reflecting on how mathematical joy broadens what feels possible for students and instructors alike. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Anne Marie Marshall \n*** \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Ilana Lavene
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups\nWe introduce a generalization of parking functions in which cars are limited in their movement backwards and forwards by two nonnegative integer parameters k and ℓ\, respectively. In this setting\, there are n spots on a one-way street and m cars attempting to park in those spots\, and 1≤m≤n. We let α= (a1\,a2\,…\,am) in [n]^m denote the parking preferences for the cars\, which enter the street sequentially. Car i drives to their preference a_i and parks there if the spot is available. Otherwise\, car i checks up to k spots behind their preference\, parking in the first available spot it encounters if any. If no spots are available\, or the car reaches the start of the street\, then the car returns to its preference and attempts to park in the first spot it encounters among spots a_i+1\,a_i+2\,…\,a_i+l. If car i fails to park\, then parking ceases. If all cars are able to park given the preferences in α\, then α is called a (k\,l)-pullback (m\,n)-parking function. Our main result establishes counts for these parking functions via a recursive formula.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Elaine Spiller
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty Quantification for Geophysical Hazard Analysis\nDr. Elaine Spiller\nProfessor of Applied Math and Statistics\nMarquette University \nGeophysical flows — landslides\, storm surge\, tsunamis\, volcanic flows\, etc — pose a serious threat to nearby populations. Ideally\, probabilistic hazard assessments combine available knowledge about physical mechanisms of the hazard\, data on past hazards\, and any available precursor information. Systematically assessing the probability of rare\, yet catastrophic hazards adds a layer of difficulty due to limited observational data. Via computer models\, one can exercise potentially dangerous scenarios that may not have happened in the past but are probabilistically consistent with the aleatoric nature of previous geophysical behavior in the record. \nI will discuss recent work and ongoing methodological challenges toward making efficient and flexible geophysical hazard maps focusing on applications to volcanic flows (pyroclastic density currents) and post-fire debris flows.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jennifer Elder
DESCRIPTION:Doing Anything You Want With Combinatorics\nDr. Jennifer Elder\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nMissouri Western State University \nWhen Mathematical Reviews first launched as a journal in 1940\, combinatorics was not listed as a research area. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg was solved in 1736\, so this absence is not due to later development of the field. Combinatorics has simply been hard to define on its own\, given that it is used as a tool in so many different areas of mathematics. \nThis talk will take the opposite point of view. We will center our focus on several research problems motivated from a combinatorial standpoint\, and the connections to other fields of research. These connections can be simple\, such as bridging different subareas of combinatorics: a study of a specific set of words uncovering unexpected properties of intervals in a lattice. Or the connections can be more odd\, connecting widely different areas of mathematics: a study of braid diagrams on k strands as a dynamical algebraic system.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jonathan Walker-Moses
DESCRIPTION:The Beautiful Interplay of Rotation Groups in Three Dimensions\n\nWe’ll explore the connections between the rotation Lie groups (SU(n) and SO(n)) in two and three dimensions. In doing so\, we’ll prove a remarkable theorem about the way that SU(2) and SO(3) relate using quaternions and then discuss some connections to complex analysis at the end. In doing so\, we’ll take a very fun and (in my opinion) mind-blowing journey through spheres of different dimensions. Absolutely no knowledge of Lie theory is expected and I’ll be happy to clarify any details from topology or group theory that come up that you aren’t familiar with.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Genevieve Walsh
DESCRIPTION:Quasi-isometric Hyperbolic and Cusped Relatively Hyperbolic Groups are Symmetric\nProf. Genevieve Walsh\nProfessor of Mathematics\nTufts University \nThis talk will first describe hyperbolic groups and relatively hyperbolic group pairs\, and give some key examples. We then delve into understanding when the cusp space for a relatively hyperbolic group can be quasi-isometric to a hyperbolic group. For example\, real hyperbolic spaces admit uniform and non-uniform lattices. We show that this is the exception. In particular\, if a hyperbolic group is quasi-isometric to a cusped space for a relatively hyperbolic group\, then both groups are lattices acting on a rank-1 symmetric space. \nThis is joint work with Daniel Groves\, Emily Stark\, and Kevin Whyte.

SUMMARY:UWM Marden Lecture in Mathematics: Juggling Counts
DESCRIPTION:Juggling Counts\nPresented 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. \nA banquet will be held in the LEC AmFam Dream Studio following the lecture.

SUMMARY:Community of Practice: Student Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Student Feedback: “I Just Want to Have Fun”\nNow is one of the most challenging points in the academic year.  How do we combat the post-spring-break lull\, student and instructor burnout\, and the “is the semester over yet!?!?” mentality?  While worksheets and problems up at the board are powerful\, can we design active learning that students find more “fun”?  We’ll demo and design content-centered games or activities. Have an activity/idea to share? Bring it with!!! \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Steve Butler
DESCRIPTION:A Short Course in Spectral Graph Theory\nProf. Steve Butler\nMorrill Professor of Mathematics\nIowa State University \nGraphs are used to model relationships (edges) between objects (vertices). A graph’s structure can efficiently stored in an array format. We can go one step further and replace arrays by matrices (which are arrays with benefits!)\, the eigenvalues of these matrices tell us some information about the graph. The extent to which we can understand the structure of the graph from these eigenvalues is spectral graph theory. We will do a quick walk through of some of the flavors of matrices that are studied in spectral graph theory\, and some results that arise from their study.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Kevin Palencia Infante
DESCRIPTION:“My Instructor Was Kind of a Computer”: Rethinking Faculty–Student Interactions in Calculus\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Palencia Infante\nAssistant Professor & Calculus Coordinator\nNorthern Illinois University \n\n\n\nWhile computers and AI are playing a growing role in education\, faculty remain essential to teaching in ways that meaningfully shape student learning. In this talk\, I present findings on how calculus students experience their interactions with instructors. Drawing on a qualitative study framed by academic validation and invalidation\, Black and Hispanic students share perspectives on their classroom experiences. They highlight instructional practices that support their learning\, including collaborative environments\, clear conceptual guidance\, availability outside of class\, and actions that make them feel valued. They also point to interactions that leave them feeling unsupported or not validated. Across these experiences\, students emphasize the importance of compassion\, care\, and instructor presence. By centering student voices\, this talk shows how faculty–student interactions shape students’ experiences in calculus beyond content delivery.

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Carlos Sanchez Diaz
DESCRIPTION:MS Thesis Defense\nCarlos Sanchez Diaz\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\nThis thesis investigates the pedagogical approaches to mathematical functions in the United States and Mexico with the goal of improving instruction in mathematics for Spanish-speaking English Language Learners. By comparing the United States Illustrative Mathematics curriculum with Mexico’s Nueva Escuela Mexicana (Matemáticas IV)\, the study identifies a near-isomorphic relationship between Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice and Mexico’s disciplinary competencies. This mapping provides U.S. educators with a framework to understand the prior educational experiences of Mexican immigrant students. Ultimately\, these insights should enable teachers to leverage existing student knowledge and deliver more culturally responsive\, effective mathematical instruction. \nCommittee Members: \nKevin McLeod\, Suzanne Boyd\, and Pamela E. Harris

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Dave Spade
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Modeling of Control of Animal Motion in Three Dimensions\n\n\n\nThis manuscript gets ahold of the control aspect of how Daphnia magna move through their surroundings in a control-type environment with still water and with no external stimuli. We present a statistical model for step lengths and roll\, pitch\, and yaw angles. We then use this model to describe a procedure for generating biologically realistic synthetic trajectories. The aim of this article is to provide a starting point for modeling animal motion in a variety of environmental settings.

SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Andrew Frohmader
DESCRIPTION:Graded multiplicities in the Kostant-Rallis setting\nMr. Andrew Frohmader\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis dissertation contains two main results. First\, we provide combinatorial branching rules for GL(n\, C) to O(n\, C) and GL(2n\, C) to Sp(2n\, C) extending the Littlewood restriction rules. Second\, we use these branching rules and the combinatorics of GL(n\, C)-crystals to derive a formula for the graded multiplicity of a K-type in the regular functions on the K-nilpotent cone for GL(n\, R)\, GL(n\, C) and GL(n\, H). \nAdvisor:\nJeb Willenbring \nCommittee Members:\nAllen Bell\, Chris Hruska\, Istvan Lauko\, and Kevin McLeod

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Ms. Jerianne Bonaguidi
DESCRIPTION:Proving a Softball Pitch Can Rise Under 60mph Through Mathematical Modeling\nJerianne Bonaguidi\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nMany softball coaches claim that a pitcher cannot actually throw a rise ball under 60mph; they claim it is just a “high fastball.” This project tests that theory with a live pitcher\, calculus\, and physics equations. The major claim is that if a pitcher has a high enough spin rate\, the ball can still rise throughout its whole entire trajectory\, even if thrown under 60mph. \nAdvisor:\nDr. Gabriella Pinter \nCommittee Members:\nDr. Craig Guilbault\nDr. Lijing Sun
