Applied Math Seminar Monday, April 7th, 4pm - 5pm Petr Girg, University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic)

UNC Greensboro, one of the campuses of the University of North Carolina System, will offer a 10-week REU program from May 26–July 31, 2025, for 10 nationally recruited undergraduate students from mathematical sciences. The program will be funded by NSF grant DMS-2244160.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UNC Greensboro will host a 2-day symposium “AISC 2025”. The symposium will feature a few plenary talks and a small number of parallel sessions around the AISC theme (Advances in Interdisciplinary Statistics and Combinatorics).

Title: Case Studies of Short Burst Optimization for Multiple Redistricting Criteria  Abstract:  In complex and non-convex energy landscapes like those that occur in the discrete context of partition sampling for redistricting, optimal states can be difficult to discover. In 2023 Cannon et al. demonstrated that “short bursts'’, biased random walks performed in a small number of steps and repeated, led to significantly... Continue reading...

There will be an ANTCoG seminar talk on Friday September 5th in Petty 150 at 4pm. Our speaker will be Thomas Weighill from UNCG. Title: How to map data to the circle (or anything else) Abstract:  A common challenge in data analysis is to reduce a high-dimensional dataset to a low-dimensional... Continue reading...

Our speaker will be Andrew Stout from CUNY. Title: Computations of generalized jet schemes in SINGULAR using the arc.lib library Abstract:  Jet spaces associated to an algebraic variety are important in the area of singularity theory. In this talk, we will give an introduction to this particular area of algebraic geometry... Continue reading...
