Among numerous professional development activities\, our mathematics department at California State University\, Fullerton offers Reflection Cycles\, both student-facilitated and peer-facilitated. Peer-facilitated Reflection Cycles involve pairs of faculty taking turns leading each other in three phases: planning\, implementation\, and debrief. The planning phase involves setting specific goals for an upcoming lesson. The implementation phase involves observation during a regularly scheduled class session\, with a focus on the goals set by the instructor. The debrief phase involves reflection on the implementation and setting new goals for the future. A second Reflection Cycle can then be scheduled to continue working on the same goals or to set new goals. Reflection Cycles allow for gradual\, sustained\, individualized improvement of instruction. They are facilitated in-house and can additionally improve department camaraderie.

Specifically\, Galois Theoretic ideas emerge across disciplines\, all as instances of a single theorem in (higher) category theory. This talk uses that idea to motivate a journey through three main themes relevant to any area: \n\nThe ubiquity of presheaf localizations\nThe concept of a classifying object\nThe pervasiveness of Algebro-Geometric duality\n\nIn some parts\, I will use categorical-theoretic language not with the expectation that people speak the language\, but rather as a demonstration of the beauty of the perspective gained by acquiring fluency. (What better way to motivate oneself to learn a new language than to listen to some of its poetry?) \nThis talk also serves as an onboarding for those interested in research projects on this topic. Though the talk should also inspire those who have no interest in category-theoretic research.

Boundaries of groups are examples of such objects. In this talk we will look at boundaries of (relatively) hyperbolic groups and see how their topology is directly related to algebraic properties of groups. This expository talk is meant to be an entry point for the audience to explore geometric group theory and no prior knowledge except basic topology is needed.

After a primer on modeling considerations and the equations at issue\, we discuss the weak solution theory developed by Leslie and Tan via using a sticky particle discretization technique pioneered by Brenier and Grenier. The special structure of the equations allows us a detailed look into the time-asymptotic behavior of the system\, including the structure of so-called “flocking states”.

It is a belief-driven one. This interactive conversation will explore how instructor beliefs and instructional identities shape how we design tasks\, structure class sessions\, and respond to student thinking. Participants will examine strategies for supporting small-group collaboration that work (even in less-than-ideal physical spaces) while also reflecting on how mathematical joy broadens what feels possible for students and instructors alike. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Anne Marie Marshall \n*** \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning.

In this setting\, there are n spots on a one-way street and m cars attempting to park in those spots\, and 1≤m≤n. We let α= (a1\,a2\,…\,am) in [n]^m denote the parking preferences for the cars\, which enter the street sequentially. Car i drives to their preference a_i and parks there if the spot is available. Otherwise\, car i checks up to k spots behind their preference\, parking in the first available spot it encounters if any. If no spots are available\, or the car reaches the start of the street\, then the car returns to its preference and attempts to park in the first spot it encounters among spots a_i+1\,a_i+2\,…\,a_i+l. If car i fails to park\, then parking ceases. If all cars are able to park given the preferences in α\, then α is called a (k\,l)-pullback (m\,n)-parking function. Our main result establishes counts for these parking functions via a recursive formula.

Ideally\, probabilistic hazard assessments combine available knowledge about physical mechanisms of the hazard\, data on past hazards\, and any available precursor information. Systematically assessing the probability of rare\, yet catastrophic hazards adds a layer of difficulty due to limited observational data. Via computer models\, one can exercise potentially dangerous scenarios that may not have happened in the past but are probabilistically consistent with the aleatoric nature of previous geophysical behavior in the record. \nI will discuss recent work and ongoing methodological challenges toward making efficient and flexible geophysical hazard maps focusing on applications to volcanic flows (pyroclastic density currents) and post-fire debris flows.

The Seven Bridges of Königsberg was solved in 1736\, so this absence is not due to later development of the field. Combinatorics has simply been hard to define on its own\, given that it is used as a tool in so many different areas of mathematics. \nThis talk will take the opposite point of view. We will center our focus on several research problems motivated from a combinatorial standpoint\, and the connections to other fields of research. These connections can be simple\, such as bridging different subareas of combinatorics: a study of a specific set of words uncovering unexpected properties of intervals in a lattice. Or the connections can be more odd\, connecting widely different areas of mathematics: a study of braid diagrams on k strands as a dynamical algebraic system.

In doing so\, we’ll prove a remarkable theorem about the way that SU(2) and SO(3) relate using quaternions and then discuss some connections to complex analysis at the end. In doing so\, we’ll take a very fun and (in my opinion) mind-blowing journey through spheres of different dimensions. Absolutely no knowledge of Lie theory is expected and I’ll be happy to clarify any details from topology or group theory that come up that you aren’t familiar with.

We then delve into understanding when the cusp space for a relatively hyperbolic group can be quasi-isometric to a hyperbolic group. For example\, real hyperbolic spaces admit uniform and non-uniform lattices. We show that this is the exception. In particular\, if a hyperbolic group is quasi-isometric to a cusped space for a relatively hyperbolic group\, then both groups are lattices acting on a rank-1 symmetric space. \nThis is joint work with Daniel Groves\, Emily Stark\, and Kevin Whyte.

One source of patterns that mathematicians have been exploring comes from juggling (the tossing of objects\, usually balls or clubs). We will look at multiple ways to describe juggling patterns that allow us to find new juggling patterns\, and to count how many possible patterns exist. We can compare answers to various problems to give a combinatorial proof of Worpitzky’s identity. We will also look at a few juggling-based problems that mathematics has not yet succeeded in answering. \nThis event is a part of the Marden Lecture Series\, each Spring the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites a distinguished mathematician to lecture to a general audience. The Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 – 1991)\, who founded our graduate program and made our department a research department. The Marden lecture is funded through the Miriam and Morris Marden Fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. \nA banquet will be held in the LEC AmFam Dream Studio following the lecture.

A graph’s structure can efficiently stored in an array format. We can go one step further and replace arrays by matrices (which are arrays with benefits!)\, the eigenvalues of these matrices tell us some information about the graph. The extent to which we can understand the structure of the graph from these eigenvalues is spectral graph theory. We will do a quick walk through of some of the flavors of matrices that are studied in spectral graph theory\, and some results that arise from their study.

In this talk\, I present findings on how calculus students experience their interactions with instructors. Drawing on a qualitative study framed by academic validation and invalidation\, Black and Hispanic students share perspectives on their classroom experiences. They highlight instructional practices that support their learning\, including collaborative environments\, clear conceptual guidance\, availability outside of class\, and actions that make them feel valued. They also point to interactions that leave them feeling unsupported or not validated. Across these experiences\, students emphasize the importance of compassion\, care\, and instructor presence. By centering student voices\, this talk shows how faculty–student interactions shape students’ experiences in calculus beyond content delivery.
