This talk explores the theory of homomesy for arbitrary sets\, functions\, and statistics. I provide general results about homomesy and show how these can be used to solve problems in combinatorics more efficiently. \nAdvisor:\nPamela E. Harris \nCommittee Members:\nSuzanne L.

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 URL:/math/event/marden-lecture-dr-trachette-jackson-univ-of-mi/ LOCATION:Lubar Hall N140\, 3202 N Maryland Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Marden Lecture Series ORGANIZER;CN="The Department of Mathematical Sciences":MAILTO:math-staff@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250416T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250416T190000 DTSTAMP:20260418T202714 CREATED:20250114T155242Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250114T155242Z UID:10016203-1744824600-1744830000@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Marden Lecture Banquet DESCRIPTION: URL:/math/event/marden-lecture-banquet/ LOCATION:EMS Building\, EMS E495\, 3200 Cramer St\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="The Department of Mathematical Sciences":MAILTO:math-staff@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250417T140000 DTSTAMP:20260418T202714 CREATED:20250114T155559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T210355Z UID:10016204-1744894800-1744898400@uwm.edu 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.

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.
