SUMMARY:Math Community of Practice: Let's Talk About Math Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Math Community of Practice: Let’s Talk About Math Anxiety\n\nAccording to a March 2024 US News survey\, most college students report struggling with mental health issues. Given that mathematicians are typically not mental health professionals\, knowing how to address this in the classroom often falls outside the scope of our expertise. This session will introduce participants to the concept of math anxiety\, a mental health issue that affects how students perform in our classrooms. Participants will learn about the condition\, dispel some common myths and rumors about mental health in the classroom\, and leave with a list of research-supported interventions they can try in their classes to support students with math anxiety without sacrificing content or rigor. \nFacilitated by Beccah MacKinnon

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Suzanne Boyd
DESCRIPTION:Polynomial-time Computability of the Julia Set for Polynomial Skew Products of Two Complex Variables\nDr. Suzanne Boyd\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIngrained in the modern study of dynamical systems is the use of computer experiments for revelation and illustration. In this talk\, I will explain a polynomial-time computer algorithm for approximating the Julia set of a polynomial skew product of two complex variables. I will begin by defining the involved terms\, including computability\, Julia set\, and polynomial skew product. This work is joint with Christian Wolf. It relies on some my previous work on designing and implementing rigorous computer algorithms to confirm results of the experimental observations on the dynamics of polynomial maps of two complex variables\, including polynomial skew products. These algorithms are designed to locate a neighborhood of the chain recurrent set\, build a model of the dynamics of the map on this set\, and attempt to determine hyperbolicity (or Axiom A) of the map on its chain recurrent set.

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture: Dr. Trachette Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Mobilizing Mathematics for the Fight Against Cancer\nDr. Trachette Jackson\nProfessor of Mathematics and Associate Vice President for Research – Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence\nUniversity of Michigan \nIt is an exciting time to work in the interdisciplinary field of Mathematical Oncology. Even TIME Magazine agrees\, “A team-based\, cross-disciplinary approach to cancer research is upending tradition and delivering results faster.” Mathematical oncologists apply mathematical and computational modeling approaches to every aspect of cancer biology\, from tumor initiation to malignant spread to treatment response. This talk will highlight a suite of mathematical models from the past and present designed to improve the efficacy of drug treatment strategies for cancer. Combined with existing and newly generated experimental data\, these mathematical models are poised to enhance the ability to combine promising drugs for clinical trials. This type of interdisciplinary science can reduce the time and costs associated with transitioning novel therapeutics approaches from “equations to bench to bedside.” \nReception to follow in LEC

SUMMARY:Marden Colloquium: Dr. Trachette Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Agent-based Modeling of Dysregulated Cell Signaling and the Tumor-Immune Landscape Predicts New Possibilities for Combination Therapy\nDr. Trachette Jackson\nProfessor of Mathematics and Associate Vice President for Research – Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence\nUniversity of Michigan \nMathematical models\, specifically agent-based models (ABMs)\, have shown recent successes in uncovering the multiscale dynamics that shape the trajectory of cancer. They have enabled the optimization of treatment methods and the identification of novel therapeutic strategies. To assess the combined effects on tumor growth and the immune response of monoclonal antibodies that boost the immune system (immunotherapy) and small molecule inhibitors (SMI) that counteract the effect of driver mutations\, we build and analyze an ABM that captures key facets of tumor heterogeneity and immune cell dynamics\, their spatial interactions\, and their response to therapeutic pressures. Our model predicts that under certain conditions\, immunotherapy alone is optimal; in others\, immunotherapy followed by mutation-targeted therapy is best. These results suggest that optimal treatment depends on the strength of cellular signaling pathways and highlight the need to quantify mutation-dependent cell signaling and the fitness advantage conferred on cancer cells harboring these mutations.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Noah Mitchell\, Levi Montee\, and Harrison Piehowski
DESCRIPTION:The RSA Algorithm: Demonstration and Proofs\nNoah Mitchell\, Levi Montee\, and Harrison Piehowski\nGraduate Students\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn this talk\, we will explore the RSA algorithm\, one of the most widely used cryptographic systems. Starting with a brief history of its development by Ron Rivest\, Adi Shamir\, and Leonard Adleman in the late 1970s\, we will then demonstrate RSA’s effectiveness through practical examples and mathematical proofs. Our presentation will include an interactive role-play\, where two presenters use RSA to securely send messages\, while a third attempts to decrypt them without the private key\, showcasing RSA’s robustness in real-world scenarios.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Levi Montee
DESCRIPTION:Partitioning the Natural Numbers with Fibonacci-like Sequences\nLevi Montee\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nFamously 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 sequence has become one of the most recognizable sequences in mathematics. Beginning f0 = 0\, f1 = 1\, and continuing fn+1 = fn + fn-1\, this simple recurrence relation has been well studied for centuries. In this talk\, we will investigate sequences determined by the same recurrence relation given alternative starting points. We attempt to classify these sequences\, see which familiar Fibonacci properties are kept intact\, and examine when two such sequences share terms. Ultimately\, we aim to find a set of disjoint Fibonacci-like sequences that partition the natural numbers\, and see how these might be useful in solving particular logic games/puzzles.

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Jackson Thurmond
DESCRIPTION:Generalized Linear Model approach to the Prediction of the outcome of Mixed Martial Arts Fights\nMr. Jackson Thurmond\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nMixed martial arts is a complex combat sport that encompasses striking\, grappling and submissions. 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 an effort to determine which factors are statistically significant to a fight a generalized linear model approach was selected. 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. \nAdvisor:\nDavid Spade \nCommittee Members:\nDavid Spade\, Chao Zhu\, and Lijing Sun

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Caroline Terry
DESCRIPTION:Measuring Combinatorial Complexity via Regularity Lemmas\nProf. Caroline Terry\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Illinois-Chicago \nMany tools have been developed in combinatorics to study global structure in finite graphs. One such tool is called Szemerédi’s regularity lemma\, which gives a structural decomposition for any large finite graph. Beginning with work of Alon-Fischer-Newman\, Lovász-Szegedy\, and Malliaris-Shelah\, it has been shown over the last 15 years that regularity lemmas can be used to detect structural dichotomies in graphs\, and that these dichotomies have deep connections to model theory. One striking example is a dichotomy in the size of regular partitions\, first observed by Alon-Fox-Zhao. Specifically\, if a hereditary graph property H has finite VC-dimension\, then results of Alon-Fischer-Newman and Lovász-Szegedy imply all graphs in H have regular partitions of size polynomial is 1/ε. On the other hand\, if H has infinite VC-dimension\, then results of Gowers and Fox-Lovász show there are graphs in H whose smallest 1/ε-regular partition has size at least an exponential tower of height polynomial in 1/ε. In this talk\, I present several analogous dichotomies in the setting of hereditary properties of 3-uniform hypergraphs.
