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
