Kwangil Koh Lecture: Amie Wilkinson, Illuminating a Mathematical Landscape
SAS 2203Turn on a light in the middle of a room: Is every spot illuminated? If the room is a complicated labyrinth, then probably not, but what if the walls of the room are mirrors? Amie Wilkinson of the University of Chicago will deliver the Department of Mathematics Kwangil Koh Lecture on Mathematics in Our Time through…
Math Honors Undergraduate Research Presentation: Geneva Collins, Erin Beaton, Natalie Cody and Ethan Dudley, NC State
Geneva Collins Title : Automatic Geometric Theorem Proving: Sangaku From an Algebraic PerspectiveAbstract: During the Edo period (1603-1867 CE) Japan was almost completely closed off from the rest of the world and developed its own mathematical tradition called wasan. Part of this tradition was to hang tablets, known as sangaku, in the eaves of a…

130th Math Department Anniversary Celebration
Register now for a weekend anniversary celebration marking 130 years of mathematics education and research here at NC State. The history of mathematics at the university dates to 1889, when math courses were among the first taught as NC State ushered in its inaugural class of students. Harrelson Hall was the former home of the…
Roman Shvydkoy, University of Illinois, Chicago, Analytical perspectives on the emergence phenomena in systems of collective behavior
Systems governed by laws of self-organization arise in many different contexts including biology (swarming behavior of animals), social (opinion dynamics, social networks), technological (cosmology, control, robotics), and others. A particular challenge in studying such systems is to understand how local communication between "agents" gives rise to emergence of global collective behavior characterized by two basic phenomena -- alignment and flocking. In this…
Maxim Bichuch, Johns Hopkins University, Robust XVA
We discuss the reasons for the introduction of Valuation Adjustments as a consequence of the financial crisis of 2007-9. We introduce an arbitrage-free framework for robust valuation adjustments. An investor trades a credit default swap portfolio with a defaultable counterparty. The investor does not know the expected rate of return of the counterparty bond, but…

Honors Research Presentation
SAS 2102Grant Barkley Title: Coxeter Groups and the Lattice of Total Orders Abstract: A Coxeter group is a group generated by elements of order 2, called reflections, along with certain relations between the elements. The group of permutations on n elements (generated by swapping 1 and 2, 2 and 3, etc.) is an important…

Special Event: Dr. Cornelia Van Cott, University of San Francisco, The Mathematics of Card Shuffling
SAS 2203If you're handed an unshuffled deck of cards, you'll likely attempt to do a so-called perfect shuffle. A perfect shuffle splits a deck of cards into two equal stacks and then perfectly interlaces the cards from the two stacks. Only experienced gamblers and magicians can perform perfect shuffles reliably, and yet the mathematics behind perfect…
