We’ll discuss its pros and cons as well as opportunities and barriers. Please bring any of your own thoughts\, concerns\, and experiences related to OER! \n*OER refers to learning materials that are free to access\, reuse\, and adapt. For example\, open textbooks\, open learning videos\, open online homework platforms\, open lesson plans\, etc. \nFacilitated by Kelly Kohlmetz URL:/math/event/community-of-practice-lets-talk-about-oer-open-educational-resources/ LOCATION:EMS Building\, E495\, 3200 N Cramer St\, Milwaukee\, WI\, United States CATEGORIES:Seminars X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250307T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250307T150000 DTSTAMP:20260418T234303 CREATED:20250113T160838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250226T151306Z UID:10016198-1741356000-1741359600@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jason DeBlois DESCRIPTION:Some Things We Do and Don’t Know About Knots\nDr. Jason DeBlois\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Pittsburgh \nIn this talk\, “knot” will mean a circle embedded in three-dimensional space. These have been formally studied since the late 19th century. More recently\, new computational and geometric tools have allowed us to make substantial progress on understanding the landscape of knots and their invariants\, but they have also raised new questions. I will introduce the study of knots\, sketch its history\, and describe what is known (to me) about some of these questions relating to hyperbolic geometry.

Recall that a plane tree is a tree drawn on a plane with no edges crossing. An increasing plane tree is a plane tree where each vertex is labeled from 1 to n\, with labels increasing away from the root. Our main result establishes a bijection from Stirling permutations to its respective increasing plain tree.

The calculation is done using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) – discovered by Cooley–Tukey in 1965 and by Gauss in 1805. \nIn the lecture I want to advertise a beautiful way—due to Auslander-Tolimieri—to obtain the FFT as a natural consequence of an answer to the following: \nQUESTION: How to think on the space of functions on the set 0\,1\,…\,N-1? \nEngineers tell us that there are two answers for this question: \n(A) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded as times; \nand\, \n(B) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded frequencies; \nand then the FT is an operator translating between the two spaces. \nIn the lecture\, I will explain that there is another answer\, i.e.\, a not so well-known third space (C)\, of arithmetic nature\, that also gives an answer to the above question\, and then the FFT appears simply as the composition of two operators:\nthe one translating between spaces (A) and (C)\, and the one that translates (C) to (B). \nRemark: The lecture is prepared to be understood to anyone who is familiar with basic linear algebra. In particular\, advanced undergraduate students\, from computer science\, engineering\, mathematics\, physics\, etc\, are more than welcome to attend.

In a sport where fights can be won by finishing a fight or go to decision there is a multitude of factors that can influence the outcome of a fight. In the Ultimate Fighting Championship a fighter is either designated the red or blue corner. Since mixed martial arts is a sport in which two competitors fight\, and one is declared a winner\, the result of a fight can be thought of a binary classification problem. In an effort to determine which factors are statistically significant to a fight\, a generalized linear model approach was selected.

The cards can be represented as points in $\mathbb{Z}_2^6$​\, where a quad in the game corresponds to an affine plane in the finite geometry$ AG(6\,2)$. Our primary focus is on quad-free collections of cards\, which correspond to Sidon sets. We explore an Quads analog of the “Cap Set” problem for SET\, presenting results and ongoing research.
