Dr. Manos Papadakis, University of Houston Mar-14-2023, 10:30 am Abstract- In this presentation we start with a premise Initiating a learning process for a neural network from zero may not always the best tactic Human brains which are the best we know tools to analyze images evolved over a billion of years and this evolution…
Felix Gotti, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Date: Wednesday, February 22, 5:00 pm. Abstract An integral domain R is atomic if each nonzero nonunit of R factors into irreducibles. Also, an integral domain satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) if every increasing sequence of principal ideals (under inclusion) becomes constant from one point…
Irena Swanson, Purdue University Date: Thursday, February 23, 10:30 am. Abstract Primary decompositions are a basic tool in commutative algebra, but they also arise in other contexts. In this talk I will discuss some connections with algebraic geometry, partial differential equations, algebraic statistics, and computational complexity. Determinants of n x n matrices can be computed…
Ayman Badawi, American University of Sharjah Date: Friday, February 24, 11:00 am. Abstract Let R be a commutative ring with 1 ≠ 0, and I be a proper ideal of R. Then I is called a 2-absorbing ideal of R if whenever abc ∈ I for some a, b, c ∈ R, then ab ∈…
Dr. Hortensia Soto – December 8, 2022, online Abstract Embodied cognition is a philosophy that claims that learning is body‐based. One might ask how that has anything to do with teaching and learning mathematics. In this talk, I will illustrate ways in which this lens can facilitate learning. I argue that most faculty probably already…
Dr. Matthew Junge – December 6, 2022 – 10:30 am – FB Abstract In the late 20th century, statistical physicists introduced a chemical reaction model called ballistic annihilation. Particles are placed randomly throughout the real line and then proceed to move at random velocities. Collisions result in mutual annihilation. Many results were inferred by physicists,…
Dr. Deepam Patel – Noviembre 22 de 2022 – 10:30 am Abstract The Hodge conjecture is one of the central problems in Algebraic Geometry. The first part of this talk will serve as a general introduction to the Hodge conjecture. The conjecture says roughly that certain cohomology classes as `algebraic’ in the setting of smooth…
Dr. Maurice Rojas – Noviembre 10 de 2022 – 10:30 am Abstract Poconomios, en caso especial, son polinomios con pocos términos monomiales (también conocidos como polinomios ralos). El filósofo René Descartes, en 1637, era el primero en descubrir que polinomios ralos en una variable tienen pocas raíces reales. Askold Khovanski y Konstantin Sevastyanov, después en…
Dr. Lev Steinberg – Abril 21-2022 – 10:30 am Abstract This talk will present the foundation and validation of the Cosserat Plate Theory, numerical experiments of deformation and vibration, and the unique properties of the Cosserat plates. This approach incorporares the high accuracy assumptions of the Cosserat plate deformation consistent with the Cosserat Elasticity equilibrium…
Dr. Irena Swanson – Purdue University – March 17, 2022 – 10:30 am. Abstract This talk will be about computability on abstract algebraic structures, such as on ideals and rings. The main tool in computations are Groebner bases, which were invented and developed by Bruno Buchberger in 1965 for ideals and which have since been…
