Title:  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),

Title: 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
