Doctoral Exam: Evan Curcio, NC State, Mathematical Modeling of Stomach Morphogenesis and the Biomechanics of Pattern in Notochords
SAS 3282This dissertation presents three treatments of mathematical modeling to two relevant areas of biological application.We apply foam physics to the morphometry of cell packings of notochords, elastic membrane physics to notochord biomechanics,…
Geometry and Topology Seminar: Arunima Bhattacharya, UNC Chapel Hill, Lagrangian Mean Curvature Equations
SAS 1216In this talk, we will introduce the special Lagrangian and Lagrangian mean curvature type equations. We will derive a priori interior estimates for the Lagrangian mean curvature equation under certain natural restrictions…
Math Department Fall 2023 Meeting
SAS 4201We plan on having the beginning-of-the-semester departmental meeting on Monday, August 28, at 4:15 p.m. in SAS 4201. Dean Lewis Owen will join the meeting in the beginning with welcoming…
Biomathematics Seminar: Gerardo Chowell-Puente, Enhancing epidemic forecasts using multi- scale models: Application to COVID-19 and monkeypox epidemics
ZoomZoom Meeting: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/93046132033?pwd=dkZiTjlKazgzK2Q3aXJra1g2R1Q0dz09 Meeting ID: 930 4613 2033 Passcode: 075251
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Eric Hanson, NC State, Finite-dimensional algebras and the shard intersection order
SAS 4201Reading’s shard intersection order is a lattice structure on a finite Coxeter group which is weaker than the weak order. This structure also appears in the representation theory of finite-dimensional…
Teaching and Learning Seminar: Molly Fenn, Bevin Maultsby, and Stepan Paul, NC State, Gradescope Workshop
SAS 4201The speakers will talk about how to use Gradescope to streamline the grading process for assignments and exams. No experience with Gradescope is assumed, but the speakers will share tips…
Biomathematics Seminar: Renee Brady-Nicholls, NC State Alum, Leveraging Patient-Reported Outcome Dynamics to Predict Treatment Response
ZoomZoom Meeting: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/93046132033?pwd=dkZiTjlKazgzK2Q3aXJra1g2R1Q0dz09 Meeting ID: 930 4613 2033 Passcode: 075251
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Martin Helmer, NC State, Effective Whitney Stratification of Real Algebraic Varieties
SAS 4201We describe an algorithm to compute Whitney stratifications of real algebraic varieties. The basic idea is to first stratify the complexified version of the given real variety using conormal techniques,…
Geometry and Topology Seminar: Mathew Kushelman, NC State, On Liouville’s Theorem for Conformal Maps
SAS 1216A theorem of Liouville asserts that the simplest conformal transformations on Euclidean space---translations, dilations, reflections, and inversions---generate all conformal transformations when the dimension is at least 3. I will describe…
Applied Math Graduate Student Seminar: Walker Powell, NC State, Quasiglobal Sensitivity Analysis for Computational Fluid Dynamic
SAS 4201Determining the sensitivity of model outputs to input parameters is an important precursor to developing informative parameter studies, building surrogate models, and performing rigorous uncertainty quantification. Determining parameter sensitivities over…
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Jacob Matherne, NC State

Teaching and Learning Seminar: Sunghwan Byun, NCSU College of Education, : Knowledge in Interaction: A Key to Promote Participatory Equity During Whole-Group Discussions
SAS 4201Research shows inequitable participation patterns are pervasive in mathematics classrooms. Thus, an important consideration for mathematics instructors is promoting participation by students with historically marginalized backgrounds. Existing literature often focuses…
Geometry and Topology Seminar: Keaton Naff, MIT, The prescribed-point area estimates in space forms
SAS 1216We discuss a sharp area estimate for minimal submanifolds that pass through a prescribed point in a geodesic ball in a space form. The estimate in Euclidean space was first conjectured by…
Colloquium: Eitan Tadmor, University of Maryland, Swarm-Based Random Descent Method for Non-Convex Optimization
SAS 4201We introduce a Swarm-Based Random Descent (SBRD) method for non-convex optimization. The swarm consists of agents, identified with positions, x, and masses, m. There are three key aspects to the…
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Nathan Reading, NC State, Posets for cluster variables in cluster algebras from surfaces
SAS 4201This talk will introduce cluster algebras, with an emphasis on their combinatorics, and describe a recent joint result with Vincent Pilaud and Sibylle Schroll. At the heart of a cluster…
Nonlinear Analysis Seminar and Differential Equation Seminar: Liviu Ignat, Institute of Mathematics, Simion Stoilow of the Romanian Academy, Romania, Asymptotic behavior of solutions for some diffusion problems on metric graphs
ZoomIn this talk we present some recent result about the long time behavior of the solutions for some diffusion processes on a metric graph. We study evolution problems on a…
