(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. …
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 …
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 …
Life After the PhD, Alumni Career Panel Join us for a discussion with distinguished alumni as they share their experiences transitioning from graduate school to academic careers. Pizza will be provided! Topics include: Academic job market Postdocs and faculty positions …
From Beliefs to Practice, Expanding Collaboration in Mathematics Classrooms Collaboration 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, …
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 â„“, respectively. In this setting, there are n spots …
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 …
