Applied Math And Analysis Seminar
Ming-Jun Lai (University of Georgia)
Physics 119

One of the machine learning tasks is to read images and understand them. For example, a computer reads the images of MNIST data set, i.e. handwriting digits 0,..., 9 and…

Algebraic Geometry Seminar
Robert Crumplin
Gross 324

The question of counting maps from marked curves with fixed tangency conditions to a divisor in the target has been studied extensively over the past 15 years. One way of…

Number Theory Seminar
Carl Wang-Erickson (University of Pittsburgh, Mathematics)
Physics 119

Hida theory provides a p-adic interpolation of modular forms that have a property known as ordinary. Hida’s interpolation inspired Mazur to formulate the deformation…

Gergen Lectures
Peter Shor (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Gross 330

Shortly after quantum mechanics was first formulated around 1930, it became evident that it was a strange theory. It took many years, however, before anybody suggested…
