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.

Have an activity/idea to share? Bring it with!!! \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. There’s no sign-up; simply attend if you want! If you would like to be involved in any planning or would like to run a session\, please email me (henathan@uwm.edu) and let me know. \nThe Community of Practice Canvas Site \nWe have a Community of Practice Canvas site where we keep a signup and modules for past sessions.

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.
