Pi Mu Epsilon – Patricia Cahn (Smith College)
302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Stranger Strings Abstract: How can we describe all spaces of a given dimension? We'll start by describing 2-dimensional spaces, which look like donuts with any number of holes. Then we'll learn how to describe 3-dimensional spaces, by using knots to build portals in our familiar 3-dimensional space R^3.
Undergraduate Tea

302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Chess and Math Abstract: In this talk we will cover some connections between the game of chess and mathematics. In particular we will answer some questions such as what is the longest game, how many games of chess are possible, how many positions after n moves. We will also go over constructional tasks and
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),
AWM – Fun Math Lunch
302 Gordon Palmer HallLunch for AWM members to come together, eat, socialize and participate in an interactive math activity .
Algebra/Topology Seminar – Elena Pavelescu, University of South Alabama
302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Complete minors of self-complementary graphs. Abstract: A self-complementary graph on n vertices is a graph which is isomorphic to its graph complement within K_n, the complete graph on n vertices. These graphs have a high degree of structure, and yet they are far from trivial. This talk focuses on minors of self-complementary graphs. Minors
Colloquium – Ricardo Cortez, Tulane University
302 Gordon Palmer HallMathematical and Computational Modeling of Microorganism Swimming Motions Microscopic swimmers like bacteria and spermatozoa live in highly viscous environments. Their locomotion and the fluid flows they generate around them have been actively investigated for the last 60 years motivated by questions about effective locomotion strategies, the organism's interaction with the surrounding environment, patterns of collective
