Math Ed Seminar – Sarah Lubienski, Indiana University
302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Trends in U.S. Mathematics Instruction, Achievement and Equity: What Can (and Can’t) National Data Tell Us? Abstract: The increasing availability of large-scale datasets for studying mathematics education raises questions about what can and cannot be learned from such data. Using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS),
Applied Math Seminar – Kevin Curtin, UA Department of Geography
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Determining Optimal Police Patrol Areas…and More: a Research Program in Quantitative Human Geography Abstract: My research program is rooted in the Quantitative Revolution in Geography that began in the 1950s, and that has culminated in the broad acceptance and use of Geographic Information Systems. More specifically, my research lies in the use of quantitative methods
Analysis Seminar – Tim Ferguson, University of Alabama
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Ahlfors' Extension of the Schwarz-Pick Lemma Abstract: I will discuss Ahlfors' extension of the Schwarz-Pick lemma from complex analysis. This lemma involves negatively curved conformal metrics called ultrahyperbolic metrics and compares them to Poincare metric on the unit disc. As an application, I will discuss a proof of Picard's theorem. (Don't worry, you don't need to know

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: "A Compact Embedding Theorem for Degenerate Sobolev Spaces" Abstract: In this talk I will prove a compact embedding theorem for degenerate Sobolev spaces into naturally associated weighted Lebesgue spaces. This is a generalization of the Rellich Kondrachov compactness theorem for classical Sobolev spaces. These embeddings have been studied in a very general context in
Colloquium – John Etnyre, Georgia Institute of Technology
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: Curvature and contact topology Abstract: Contact geometry is a beautiful subject that has important interactions with topology in dimension three. In this talk I will give a brief introduction to contact geometry and discuss its interactions with Riemannian geometry. In particular I will discuss a contact geometry analog of the famous sphere theorem and
