Pick's Theorem and Applications to Restricted Integer Partition Functions Daniel Gulbrandsen University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “A point in R^n is called an integral point if all of its coordinates are integers. In R^2, Pick's Theorem relates the area... Read More

Understanding the 17-gon: The Details of the Compass-and-Straightedge Construction Adam Buck University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “The fact that the 17-gon is constructible by compass and straightedge is common trivia among math enthusiasts. The goal of this talk will... Read More

Exploring Fuzzy Set Theory Sam Nehls University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “In classical set theory, sets are mathematically defined and it's oftentimes straightforward to check if an element is or is not a member of a set. For instance,... Read More

Street View Imagery Based High-Resolution and High-Accuracy Human-Environment Vegetation Mapping: How Green is our County?

Quantum Mechanics: How does it work? William Langhoff University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “Many have heard about the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics. Pop-science writers often talk about ‘superposition of states’, ‘wave function collapse’, and ‘uncertainty’. In this talk,... Read More

A Recursion Incursion Excursion Adam Buck University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “I will share some of my favorite examples of recursively defined objects. Mostly we will look at fun problems that happen to have recursive solutions. The goal of... Read More

A Fourier Multiplier Theorem on the Besov-Lipschitz Spaces Jingchun Chen University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “We consider Fourier multiplier operators whose symbols satisfy a generalization of Hormander's condition and establish their Sobolev-type mapping properties on the homogeneous Besov-Lipschitz spaces...
