Abstract: In this presentation, we explore the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a major global public health issue that complicates the elimination of harmful microorganisms in the host. Mathematical models have significantly contributed to the understanding of AMR dynamics and identifying strategies to combat bacterial infections, although they have primarily focused on single bacterial…
Abstract: Rotation symmetric Boolean functions were introduced by Pieprzyk and Qu in 1999. They proved that these functions have efficient and secured cryptographic implementations. Later, in 2007, Kavut and Yucel found a function that exceed the Bent concatenation bound in this new class of functions. Concepts such as affine equivalence, Hamming weight, and nonlinearity have…
Abstract In this talk we explore the teaching of mathematics through the students’ eyes (Miller, 2010), a framework to guide teachers to become critically reflective. We present two research projects where we acknowledge our students’ perceptions and experiences as tools for teaching mathematics. The first project examines the experience of a group of 15 teachers…
Abstract: The problem of determining the configuration of a rotating self-gravitating mass distribution is an old one, dating back to the time of Newton itself. Most work to date has been for the case of a fluid, like a star, in which the density, velocity, and gravitational potential are the unknowns. The “advantage” in this…
Abstract: Visualization is fundamental to mathematics. The late Fields Medalist Bill Thurston began practicing visualization every day as a first grader. We will practice our visualization and will present visual proofs from combinatorics, analysis, geometry, and topology. Important questions arise including: are visual proofs rigorous?

Abstract: As innovation and technologies associated with man-made transmissions progress, complex and new challenges emerge in radio astronomy due to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Hence, novel development of software and hardware to detect and mitigate its effects on scientific data are paramount. In this talk we will discuss the successful implementation of the Generalized Spectral…
Abstract Many high-energy theoretical physicists say that “spacetime is doomed,” that spacetime is not fundamental because it has no operational meaning beyond the Planck scale. In the last decade they have found structures beyond spacetime, such as decorated permutations, which predict the amplitudes for scattering processes of particles in spacetime. We show that decorated permutations…
Join our colloquium presented by Dr. Ken Ono on ‘What is the Riemann hypothesis, and why does it matter?’. Where: CELIS 116 When: May-2-2023,10:30 am
Estudiantes internacionales y de Puerto Rico, admitidos para hacer doctorado en distintas áreas, nos contarán su experiencia solicitando estudios graduados en Universidades de Estados Unidos. Nos darán recomendaciones para preparar una solicitud exitosa. Este panel es de gran valor para estudiantes que estén pensando hacer estudios graduados en USA después de terminar la maestría o…
Dr. E. Suazo University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley Monday, April 3 5:30 p.m. The work in this presentation is four-fold. Firstly, we introduce an alternative approach to solve fractional ordinary differential equations as an expected value of a random time process. Using the latter, we present an interesting numerical approach based on Monte Carlo…
