Fractal Geometry and Non-Integer Dimensions Matt McClinton PhD Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Popularized in the 1980s, fractals have become something of a household name. These fractal sets often demonstrate peculiar topological properties. One such property is the notion of …
Stirling Permutations to Increasing Plane Trees and Back Ariel Minakawa and Gavin Sayrs Undergraduate Students University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee A Stirling permutation is a permutation on the multiset {1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ... ,n, n} such that any numbers appearing …
Generalized Linear Model Approach to the Prediction of the Outcome of Mixed Martial Arts Fights Jackson Thurmond Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Mixed martial arts is a complex combat sport that encompasses striking, grappling and submissions. In a sport where …
The RSA Algorithm: Demonstration and Proofs Noah Mitchell, Levi Montee, and Harrison Piehowski Graduate Students University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In this talk, we will explore the RSA algorithm, one of the most widely used cryptographic systems. Starting with a brief history …
Partitioning the Natural Numbers with Fibonacci-like Sequences Levi Montee Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Famously seen in the displacement of seeds in a sunflower, the branching of tree limbs or enumerating results in a variety of combinatorics problems, the Fibonacci …
Parking Completions and Volumes of Polytopes Kimberly Hadaway Graduate Student Iowa State University Parking functions correspond with preferences of n cars which enter sequentially to park on a one-way street where (1) each car parks in the first available spot …
The Axiom of Choice and Non-Lebesgue Measurable Sets Jillian Cervantes Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In this expository talk, we explore an interesting connection between the axiom of choice and the existence of non-Lebesgue measurable subsets of \mathbb{R}. We state …
Representation Theory Through Parking Functions This talk is about parking spaces. No, not the kind in a grocery store parking lot, rather a kind of space that appears when you want to study the symmetries of a set of combinatorial …
This event will still take place on 01/30/2026 from 12:30 - 1:30 pm in EMS E495 The first graduate student colloquium this semester features our Chair, Dr. Pamela Harris. This will be an informal conversation between the department chair and …
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 …
