Doing Anything You Want With Combinatorics Dr. Jennifer Elder Assistant Professor of Mathematics Missouri Western State University When Mathematical Reviews first launched as a journal in 1940, combinatorics was not listed as a research area. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg …
Uncertainty Quantification for Geophysical Hazard Analysis Dr. Elaine Spiller Professor of Applied Math and Statistics Marquette University Geophysical flows — landslides, storm surge, tsunamis, volcanic flows, etc — pose a serious threat to nearby populations. Ideally, probabilistic hazard assessments combine …
An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups We 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 …
Sticky Particle Solutions of the Euler Alignment system This 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 …
An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups A 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 …
(Higher) Categorical Galois Theory for the Aspiring Mathematician Here 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. …
